Far from being stuck in the past, however, Sicily also holds its own with exciting blends, such as the traditional Chardonnay varietal with natives Grillo, Inzolia, Cataratto, Grecanico. White wines stand out for freshness, minerality and aromatic complexity.
The Chardonnay by Feudo Arancio is a Sicilian white wine made from Chardonnay grapes. This international white varietal has found an ideal habitat in Sicily and produces a rich, aromatic wine with a harmonious and well-balanced flavor.
Each varietal is harvested separately to ensure optimal ripening. Grapes are destemmed, crushed and the resultant must is rapidly chilled to 39°F on its way to the pneumatic presses. Some portions of the fruit are given skin contact in order to extract flavor and body.
Chardonnay with a Mediterranean soul, Chiarandà offers a complex bouquet with notes of yellow peach and wild flowers, combined with elegant hints of long aging. A white with long persistence, rich in nuances and with great aging potential.
