    2022 Planeta "Menfi" Chardonnay (Sicily, IT) 6W

    6W

    Warmer growing regions, fully ripened grapes, extended barrel-aging add to the wine’s body

    2022 Planeta "Menfi" Chardonnay (Sicily, IT) 6W

    A pure expression of Chardonnay executed in a beautifully Burgundian style with a sunny Sicilian twist. The wine showcases precision and focus while offering a generous array of stone fruit and floral aromas. As it gains weight in the glass, it reveals rounder and more opulent tones of Sicilian almond, candied fruit, orange peel, anise seed, and salty mineral notes reminiscent of the soft sea breezes that gently wash over Menfi in the southern part of the island.

    About The Varietal

    Chardonnay

    Chardonnay, possibly the most famous among white grape varieties, is frequently regarded as reaching its peak expression in its Burgundian birthplace. However, this grape has journeyed across the globe, and Chardonnay wines, ranging from outstanding to less inspiring, can now be discovered in various wine-producing regions worldwide.
