Sicily has some delectable white wines, and this is the most luscious of the bunch that I've tasted. Donnafugata has pulled out the stops to make this delicious Chardonnay that gushes with yellow apple, mango, star fruit, wild Mediterranean herbs like sage & wild thyme, vanilla and a long lovely finish.
Pair this with lobster & butter, niçoise salad made with Ventresca oil packed tuna belly meat, or try it with Hawaiian Poke salad.
This is full-bodied but made with a gentle hand. It's sure to please Chardonnay lovers, especially fans of California Chardonnays. Chiarandà 2011 will age gracefully, so you can lay this in your cellar for a while if can resist the temptation to drink it. Limited availability.
