DESCRIPTION
A wine that has become the image of the Sicilian change of wine. It was born from the desire to be able to compete with the world in the production of this noble and widespread vine. After a long road that began in 1985, full of surprises and successes, today Planeta Chardonnay is an icon for the whole of Sicily. The vineyards of Ulmo and Maroccoli, which compose it, are unique in terms of position and terroir. The careful and precise fermentation and aging in French woods gives us a wine that is unique in terms of grace and power.
VINES: Ulmo, Maroccoli. Municipality of Sambuca (AG).
After destemming, soft pressing and static sedimentation at low temperature; inoculation of selected yeasts on the limpid, fermentation at 18 ° C in barriques.
Aging in barrique with bâtonnage performed every 10 days.
Chardonnay in purity that clearly brings out its characteristics that have made it so famous. Starting from the richness of the deep but transparent light gold color, one senses the pleasant contrast of creaminess and crunchiness that will await us at the tasting. It is in fact a soft white supported by a refreshing acid vein that accompanies all the tasting. A subtle mineral trait makes the flavor of ripe yellow peaches, acacia honey and almond paste dialogue harmoniously with the most peaty, cereal and toasted aromas that overlook the powerful and balanced finish.

CELLAR
“For five centuries, through 17 generations, our family has been committed to following the paths of agricultural evolution in a complex land like Sicily, with an approach that is always oriented towards openness and innovation. Where too often the agricultural world has locked itself up in ancient patterns of social habits and productive practices, we have rather inherited, from generation to generation, an instinct aimed at changing and generating positive changes around us, in culture and among people. During the twentieth century it was grandfather Vito who demonstrated how, beyond the static management of land ownership, we should all move towards new solutions and new perspectives: he was the first, in Menfi, to try to transform our small family winery into a large social cellar which in a short time, under the presidency of Diego, was then transformed into a collective heritage and a model of territorial development. Simultaneously president of the regional institute of vine and wine, Diego played a leading role in the wine renaissance of Sicily, transforming it into a large laboratory of experimentation, with enlightened consultancy such as those of Giacomo Tachis, Carlo Corino, Giampaolo Fabris and Attilio Scienza.
