Branciforti Chardonnay Terre Siciliane IGT

Terroir and wine-making

The Chardonnay grapes, soul of the Bordonaro Branciforti wine, welcome the beneficial influence of the terroir of the estate of Gelso Grande, in the heart of the Mediterranean, where it extends the western tip of Sicily.

The medium clay soil hosts the roots of vines raised with Guyot pruning. The technique chosen by the winegrowers of the estate is in accordance with the growth of lush plants that, every year during the first days of August, are harvested before starting the process of processing in the cellar, which will transform them into a wine with characteristic aromas.

The soft pressing of the grapes and fermentation at temperature prepare for two months in stainless steel and one month in bottle, after which, the wine is ready to cheer the senses in various convivial occasions.

Notes of taste

Elegant and refined, the Chardonnay Branciforti enchants with a bouquet of delicate yet intriguing scents in which fruity notes of apricot and yellow peach stand out. A Sicilian white that is never intrusive, with fresh sinuosity, lying on the palate with a pleasant and intense sip.

Wine at the table

Label suitable to accompany with grace and refinement all the combinations based on fish: Mediterranean dishes, crustaceans and molluscs create a symbiosis of particularly pleasant flavors.

Curiosity

The nuances of aromas and taste notes of Chardonnay Branciforti dei Bordonaro are best appreciated when served at a temperature of 10-12 °C in a glass just poured out and slightly closed mouth, suitable for white wines with good structure.
