Sicilia DOC Chardonnay Tascante C'eragià 2023 Tasca d'Almerita

Produced by Tasca d’Almerita at the Tenuta Tascante, C’eragià is a white wine made from Chardonnay grapes grown in a small one-hectare vineyard located in the Rampante district, on the northern slope of Etna, at an altitude of 740 meters. This wine represents an original interpretation of an international grape variety, enhanced by the particular volcanic composition of the terraced soils and a unique microclimate that positively influences its expressiveness.

The vinification involves fermentation in French oak barrels at a controlled temperature between 16 and 18 degrees, lasting about twelve days. Malolactic fermentation is not carried out to preserve freshness and taste tension. The aging process takes place in Chassin cooperage wood, contributing to the balance between structure and aromatic finesse of the wine.

In the glass, it shows brilliance and luminosity. On the nose, it expresses delicate notes of white fruit and citrus, accompanied by subtle boisée hints. On the palate, it is tense and vibrant, with a freshness well balanced by an elegant structure that gives depth and persistence.

Ideal with flavorful fish dishes or grilled white meats.
