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.
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.
La Fuga - Donnafugata Cellars
La Fuga by Donnafugata is a Chardonnay wine. It is a vibrant and silky white wine with notable notes of tropical fruits (pineapple, apple and banana), in a lovely frame of acidity and minerality.
Evocative wine of our Sicily for its flavor and its floral and citrus aromas, Kebrilla by Fina is a very fresh and elegant organic white wine, produced from Grillo grapes, the oldest Sicilian vine. Tasting it is like "taking a leap" to Sicily.
