Sensi Chardonnay
IGT SICILIAN LANDS
In the heart of Sicily, in San Michele di Ganzaria, comes ‘Sensi’ Chardonnay, a wine that embodies the majesty and elegance of its volcanic terroir. Located 400 meters above sea level, on medium-textured limestone soils, this pure Chardonnay expresses the richness of Sicilian nature, shaped by expert hands. Early August harvesting and carefully controlled cryomaceration reveal a complex aromatic bouquet, where white flowers, tropical fruit and subtle spicy notes dance in perfect harmony. Its dry, dry and balanced structure is distinguished by surprising persistence and a finish that beguiles with almond accents. An ideal companion for the finest culinary delights, from sushi to carbonara, it promises a unique sensory journey where tradition and innovation come together under the sign of Patria.
