Chardonnay Sicilia DOC - Cantine Settesoli

The Chardonnay Sicilia from Cantine Settesoli in Sicily displays a bright, golden-yellow color in a swirled glass. The first nose of the Chardonnay Sicilia reveals notes of papayas, guavas, and mangos. More fruity-balsamic nuances accompany the fruity parts of the bouquet.

This Italian wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste profile. It was bottled with only 2.4 grams of residual sugar. For a wine in the entry-level range, this is absolutely uncommon, and this Italian delight, despite its dryness, offers a fine balance. Excellent flavor doesn't necessarily require much residual sugar. On the palate, this balanced white wine is characterized by an incredibly light and crisp texture. Thanks to its vibrant fruity acidity, the Chardonnay Sicilia appears wonderfully fresh and lively at the palate. The finish of this youthful white wine from the Sicilian wine region, specifically Sicilian DOC, finally convinces with a good aftertaste.

Vinification of Cantine Settesoli Chardonnay Sicilia

The balanced Chardonnay Sicilia from Italy is a single-varietal wine made from the Chardonnay grape. When the grapes reach optimal ripeness, they are harvested exclusively by hand without the aid of coarse and less selective harvesters. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here, they are sorted and gently crushed. Followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by several months of aging on the fine lees before the wine is finally racked off.
