Missetti Chardonnay - Sicily

From Menfi in southwestern Sicily come these two organic wines: a Chardonnay and a Nero d'Avola. They are created in close collaboration with a local cooperative that has had sustainability as an important cornerstone since 1958. Both wines reflect the unique combination of the Mediterranean's warmth and cool sea breezes that characterize Sicily.

In Menfi, the Chardonnay grape thrives on cool clay and limestone soils, where it receives optimal conditions to develop both freshness and complexity. The vertically tied vines (Guyot) ensure that the grapes ripen early in the sun and still retain a lively acidity when harvested in August. The wine then ferments in temperature-controlled steel tanks and matures for three months. It is also vegan, as it is not clarified with animal proteins.

The result is a wine with both body and a fresh bite. The taste features nuances of green apples, peaches, a hint of basil and a touch of almonds, giving a mouth-watering and rounded experience.
