Planeta Chardonnay Sicilia Menfi DOC

Planeta Chardonnay from the DOC Menfi is one of the best white wines in Italy and also enjoys an excellent international reputation. With impressive richness, elegance and ageing potential, it impressively proves that the Chardonnay grape variety can also produce great class in Sicily's warm climate.

Notes of ripe yellow peaches, acacia honey and marzipan combine with fine roasted aromas. The pure Chardonnay with a clear, golden depth is impressively fresh and creamy on the palate, with an invigorating acidity. There are also beautiful mineral nuances and a powerful, balanced finish. This white wine from Sicily matured for 11 months in French barriques, 50% of which were new and 50% second and third fill barrels.

On the palate, the white wine from the Devon Valley shows a lovely fullness, a creamy juiciness and a prolonged finish as well. This pure varietal Chardonnay consists of three components: the juice delivered by the freshly harvested grapes before they are pressed (‘free run juice’), the part of the wine which was fermented in second-, third- and fourth-fill barrels as well as the must which was aged in stainless steel tanks, making this blend a special taste experience.The Aaldering Chardonnay has a good ageing potential of 5 to 7 years. Enjoy this white wine from the Aaldering estate, which has been successfully producing wines in the Stellenbosch region since 2004, with salmon, lobster, crispy duck or veal.

This is the “classical” central area of d.o.c. ”Primitivo di Manduria” Harvest period: Third decade of August, first decade of September Vinification: Hand-harvested in small baskets. Maceration: 18 days with selected autochtonous yeasts.
