Chardonnay Conte Hugues`24 DOC Rapitala 0,75lt

This Chardonnay comes from Camporeale in the province of Palermo, at an altitude of around 450 metres. The vineyards have a north-south exposure and are characterised by clayey-sandy soils, giving the wine its distinctive Mediterranean expression.The grapes are harvested in August at full maturity, when their richness is at its peak. After gentle pressing and cold settling of the first-pressing must, alcoholic fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks. Once two thirds of the fermentation are complete, the wine is transferred into French oak barriques, where it remains on the lees for over ten months. It then ages in the bottle for at least three months.In the glass, this Chardonnay displays a light golden hue.

On the nose, it opens with generous fruit, sweet notes typical of Chardonnay and a delicate touch of aromatic oak. On the palate, it is velvety, full-bodied and harmonious, with marked Mediterranean aromas, a generous structure and a long, persistent finish.Perfect with hot and cold white meat dishes, crustaceans, smoked fish, foie gras, blue cheeses and mature cheeses.

Contains sulphites.
