Laudari Chardonnay Sicilia DOC 2022

This Chardonnay cannot shun the praise bestowed on it for being first Sicilian, then Chardonnay. The bright white that is the colour of its origins, the root of every eventuality, every evolution, the primal purity, the sum total of every colour, the chalk soil of Cristo di Campobello.  

Vinification: After de-stemming and crushing, temperature of the grapes is dropped to 8 – 10ºC for the maceration. A light pressing follows, after which the free-run wine is separated and decanted through the process of natural sedimentation at low temperature. The selected yeasts are inoculated by alcoholic fermentation – initiated in stainless steel vats then racked to oak barrels where the process is completed.

Ageing: 2-3 months on the lees, with weekly bâtonnage, and 8 -12 months in bottle

Tasting notes: Fragrant, with aromas of citrus fruits and flowers and hints of butter, mango and yellow plum on a vanilla-tinged base. Soft and full, well defined by freshness and enhanced flavors, in perfect harmony and with a long-lasting finish. This wine can be cellared over 10 years.

Temperature of service:  Served at 9-11°C

Food Pairing: Ideal with shellfish, grilled fish, fish-based pasta and light appetizers
