the grapes were gently pneumatically pressed. The must was racked and fermented at controlled temperature with selected yeasts, partly in stainless steel vats (90%) and a small portion (10%) in oak barriques

The Maria Costanza White represents a milestone in the history of Sicilian viticulture. Our winery was infact the first to create the blend of Inzolia and Chardonnay which gave life to this elegant white wine.
WINEMAKING
The refrigerated run juice is submitted to a natural cold clarification for 12-24 hours, after that the fermentation process starts.
Part of the resulting musts are fermented in stainless steel vats at low temperature and part in oak barriques, especially selected for the maturation of white wines.
The wine does not go trough malolactic fermentation and it matures on the lees until the following spring, constantly subjected to bâtonnage. The wine refines at least 2 months in bottle before releasing.
SENSORY PROFILE
A beautiful straw yellow color with greenish hints. It opens with an aromatic vegetable with evident notes of lemon balm and green citrus, closing with hints of unripe pineapple. In the mouth it is full and structured, soft and warm at the same time.
