Planeta Chardonnay Menfi Sicilia DOC 2023 Bio, 0,75 L

Chardonnay Menfi is undoubtedly Planeta’s signature wine — the one that marked their breakthrough in Sicily and still defines their reputation. For many, Planeta is synonymous with Chardonnay.

This cult classic has repeatedly earned the prestigious Tre Bicchieri award from Gambero Rosso, Italy’s most respected wine guide — and rightly so. Matured in barrique barrels, it speaks for itself:

The wine shows a characteristic honeyed golden colour, typical of oak-aged Chardonnay.

On the nose, vibrant exotic fruits leap out, perfectly balanced by generous notes of new oak. Rich vanilla and bright orange zest mingle seamlessly with mineral nuances drawn from the volcanic terroir. The wine bursts with energy yet remains beautifully balanced.

On the palate, it is luxuriously creamy, with layers of orange and tropical fruit flavours. The wine fills the mouth with power and vitality, supported by a lively, vibrant acidity. It builds steadily in intensity and carries through to a long, invigorating finish, marked again by exotic fruit and gentle vanilla tones.

A true standout from southern Italy — an absolute top recommendation!

Pairs wonderfully with white meats, creamy dishes, and buttery sauces.
