Planeta - Chardonnay - Menfi - 2020 - 750ml - Planeta

Planeta is a renowned winery located in Sicily, Italy. The winery was founded in 1995 by Alessio, Francesca, and Santi Planeta, who were passionate about producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of Sicily. The winery has since become one of the most respected and innovative producers in Italy, with a focus on sustainable viticulture and winemaking practices. Planeta's Chardonnay is a standout wine that showcases the winery's commitment to excellence. The grapes for this wine are sourced from the Menfi vineyard, which is located in the southwestern part of Sicily. The vineyard is situated at an altitude of 200-250 meters above sea level and benefits from the cooling sea breezes that blow in from the Mediterranean. The Chardonnay grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before being gently pressed. The juice is then fermented in French oak barrels, where it undergoes malolactic fermentation and is aged for 10 months. The result is a rich and complex wine that is full-bodied and creamy, with notes of tropical fruit, vanilla, and toasted oak. Planeta's Chardonnay is a perfect example of the potential of Sicilian wines. It is a wine that is both elegant and powerful, with a long and satisfying finish. Whether enjoyed on its own or paired with a delicious meal, this wine is sure to impress even the most discerning wine lover.
