Rapitalà Chardonnay Sicilia
Rapitalà Chardonnay Sicilia is a striking white wine that hails from sunny Sicily, Italy, and is produced by Tenuta Rapitalà, a wine estate known for its commitment to quality and craftsmanship. The grape variety used for Rapitalà Chardonnay Sicilia is the international Chardonnay grape, which adapts to Sicily's unique terroir to create an expressive and versatile wine.
When tasting Rapitalà Chardonnay Sicilia, the senses are pampered with a wide range of flavor notes. The wine reveals aromas of ripe pears, juicy green apples and citrus fruits, which provides a refreshing and fruity character.
To preserve the quality, freshness, aromatic intensity and the Sicilian terroir in the wines, Rapitalà opts for a vinification process based on low temperatures. For the white wines, they harvest the grapes at night or early in the morning, after which the grapes are cooled (7-15°C). Pressing takes place under controlled temperatures (7-10°C) to preserve the aromatic complexity. The must remains in contact with the lees at a low temperature (0-5°C) for about 7 to 20 days and natural fermentation follows in stainless steel.
What makes this wine extra special is the influence of Sicily's unique terroir. The island's Mediterranean climate and volcanic soils contribute to the minerality and complexity of Rapitalà Chardonnay Sicilia, giving it a distinctive character.
