Planeta Chardonnay Wine

“The Planeta Chardonnay born in the vineyards Ulmo and Maroccoli, located in the municipality of Sambuca di Sicilia, in the province of Agrigento. It is produced exclusively with Chardonnay grapes, harvested and selected entirely by hand. After de-stemming and soft pressing, is carried out a temperature-controlled fermentation in barriques. Then the wine is aged in barrels for 12 months before being bottled. This Chardonnay is characterized by a golden yellow color, with green highlights. The nose opens up rich and intense, with notes of apricot, peach, Golden apple and fig trees, enriched by pleasant notes of honey and pistachios. The palate is rich, pleasantly creamy and smooth, with a fresh acidity. Perfect for accompanying dishes of fish and shellfish, it is ideal in combination with white meats and soups.”
