This was surprisingly powerful! Very buttery, but still minerally. The wine caught me by surprise, no doubt this still have a lot of potential in the years to come. Update; saved a couple of glasses to the next day. It developed to very smooth fruity and was beautiful to king crab. Recommended

golden yellow, nose of orchard and citrus, palate consistent with notes of vanilla Round and elegant, confirms Planeta as a benchmark for Sicilian white wines

after 2 years this chardonnay maintains its typical Sicilian imprint. Deep yellow, hints of candy and light citrus, notes of vanilla. Quite complex and armonic nevers disappoints. In a tired late evening at Chiavari when the best is behind

typical chardonnay of the new world with citrus taste and vanilla, somehow overwhelming; a little bit unbalanced at the first sips. Oveall pleasant. Will improve from now on

Sicilian Wines: Packed with butter and pineapple mixed with creamy coconut. The pineapple fruit is dense and creamy. Hugely affected by oak and sunshine :-) Actually it is a nice wine but kind of over the top for some but I liked it.

Rich and a little creamy on the nose, lots of ripe stone fruit and tropical fruit notes. Fresh and well balanced on the palate, nice weight, but not heavy. 89-91

Good, deep colour. Lovely nose with citrus fruit and honey. Attractive citrus fruit in the palate with integrated oak, honey, good length and rich character. 6h later, it was better integrated with lemon/orange citrus fruit and more rich tropical notes. V good balance, excellent food wine both with fish and a rich pork dish. Lovely, classy chardonnay.

Lemon, lime, white pepper, a saline note and nicely integrated oak. Very nice indeed. Cheers!

solid chardonnay from Sicily with nice hints of citrus and light butter and some shadow minerality. Very well crafted and never falling short

Quite a rich and ripe nose, citrus, baked apple, oak spice; full and rich palate, finishes with spice and a bitter note. Italian Pouilly Fuisse?

Far away from a California Chardonnay in my opinion. This is crisp and vibrant. Drinking well, but not my favorite type of Chard.
