Az. G. Milazzo - Selezione Di Famiglia Grande Cuvée | Sicilia DOP Superiore (Sicilia) Chardonnay | BIO
White wine | Italy, SICILIA | 2019
Light yellow color with greenish hints. A mineral nose that reminds to notes of flint, tropical fruit, fig pulp and candied citrus. Light and intriguing vanilla and thiol notes emerge. On the palate it is very elegant, full and persistent. A firm balance and freshness make it a wine with great aging potential.
