Planeta Chardonnay Menfi 2022 Sicilia DOC organic

Chardonnay Menfi is undoubtedly Planeta's "icon wine," marking the beginning of their journey in Sicily and solidifying Planeta's reputation for exceptional Chardonnay.

This wine has frequently received the prestigious tre bicchieri award, the highest honour in Italy's most important wine guide, Gambero Rosso—and deservedly so.

A cult favourite, this modern top Chardonnay exemplifies the highest quality. Its colour, reminiscent of honey, is typical of wine matured in barriques.

On the nose, it immediately presents the exotic fruit characteristic of Chardonnay, complemented by a significant presence of new wood. Vanilla and orange zest flavours are paired with mineral notes from the volcanic soil. The wine leaps out of the glass with a balanced yet vibrant profile.

The palate is creamy, featuring orange notes and a medley of exotic flavours. With fantastic vibrant acidity and powerful structure, the wine builds up beautifully on the palate, leading to a long, animating finish with persistent exotic notes. This great wine from southern Italy is a top recommendation!

It pairs exceptionally well with white meat, including dishes with cream-based sauces and generous amounts of butter.
