2020 Planeta Sicilia Chardonnay, Sicily

Matured in 225l Allier oak barrels, 40% new, 30% second usage, 30% third usage.

A single-variety Chardonnay which clearly demonstrates the characteristics which have made it so well known. From the rich light gold colour, deep but transparent, the pleasing contrast of creaminess and crunchiness which is evident on tasting can be anticipated. It is indeed a soft white wine supported by a refreshing note of acidity which accompanies every sip. A slight mineral touch harmoniously combines the flavour of ripe yellow peaches, acacia honey and marzipan with peaty, cereal and toasted aromas which appear at the powerful and balanced finish. Cellar 8-10 years.

Try it for a change with just-seared foie gras or with roast veal and mushroom sauce.
