Description
A flagship expression from Milazzo, this remarkable Chardonnay is produced from special low-yield clones, selected for their minute bunches and exceptional aromatic profile. These rare vines yield less than 1kg per plant, allowing for superb concentration and complexity. Situated on the sun-drenched hillsides of Campobello di Licata in Sicily, the vineyards benefit from significant diurnal temperature variation, preserving natural acidity and aromatic finesse.
The grapes are hand-harvested at peak ripeness, ensuring meticulous selection. Fermentation begins in stainless steel to capture purity of fruit, before the wine is transferred mid-fermentation to oak barriques (1st and 2nd passage) where it completes fermentation and rests for one year. This patient élevage imparts depth, complexity and integration, without overshadowing the grape’s natural character.
