DESCRIPTION: 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 so elegant white wine.

WINEMAKING
The refrigerated run juice is submitted to cold clarification for 12-24 hours after which starts the fermentation process. 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. Wines do not perform malolactic fermentation and they mature on the lees until the following spring, constantly subjected to "bâtonnage”. The wine refines at least 2 months in bottle before selling out.

SENSORY PROFILE
Intense straw yellow colour with greenish hints. It opens up with erbaceous spring notes and tones of white milky sap. Ripen yellow tropical fruits, closing with sweet yellow citrus fruits and citron. Final closure of romary notes. Well balanced sip, with a smooth incipit, long and lingering the end.
