Region: Sicilia
Featured Product
CHARDONNAY DOC
Grape Varieties: Chardonnay
Tasting Note: The wine which has become an image of the change in Sicilian wine. Rich deep clear golden but transparent color, soft white wine underlaid by a refreshing acid vein. A slight mineral suggestion combines harmoniously with the flavor of ripe yellow peaches, acacia honey and marzipan and with some peaty, cereal and toasted aromas which precede the powerful balanced finish.
