Description

Chardonnay is one of the characteristic vines of the Terre Sicane in western Sicily’s Agrigento, introduced in the late 80’s when Sicilian viticulturists began their journey towards quality wine making. Brothers Gunther and Klaus Di Giovanna, produce their unoaked version, full of aromas of wild flowers and citrus notes.
More than 30 years ago the Di Giovanna family began making wine from their 56 hectares of estate vineyards, planted between Sambuca di Sicilia and Contessa Entellina.
The vines are cultivated from 400 up to 850 meters of altitude, with impressive slopes that make viticulture demanding. Di Giovanna wines are born of a heroic, organic viticulture, that carry a stylistic seal of aromatic expressiveness and elegance. Their Chardonnay is no exception, with its profile of expressive aromatics and savory notes that close with a vibrant, mineral finish.
