The wine

Description and technical sheet

Planeta's Chardonnay over 25 years ago surprised and baptised a new way of making wine in Sicily as well as, together with some famous contemporary labels, a new way of interpreting this grape variety. The grapes have always been grown in the vineyards of Ulmo and Maroccoli, in the municipality of Sambuca di Sicilia (Menfi). In the first vineyard, we are at an altitude of 250 metres, on medium-textured soil, with an abundant structure consisting of pebbles, slightly calcareous, and with fractions of dark and vegetal soils. In the second, we reach 450 metres above sea level, with soil rich in structure, on average clayey with abundant silty fraction. The two areas are harvested at different times in the first half of September; the grapes undergo soft pressing and static sedimentation at low temperatures. They ferment in barriques at a controlled temperature and remain sur lie for the following 11 months, with batonnage every 10 days. The wine is then always aged in 50% new Allier barriques.

CHARDONNAY PLANETA: TASTING

Planeta's Chardonnay is known for its brilliant gold colour. On the nose, it envelops with notes of ripe yellow peach, cedar, acacia honey, toasted almond, bread crust, ginger and light salty notes. In the mouth, it is full, fresh, tasty and long. Always a fun tasting and an excellent combination with complex dishes, for example a mushroom and hazelnut risotto.
