Planeta Chardonnay Menfi DOC 2018 Review
This is such a balanced, modern style Chardonnay from the sunny Sicily. It has soft fruit with a calm kiss of butter. The acidity is frothy so that the depth of the wine doesn’t overwhelm — it almost tingles the tongue. It’s a wonderful, refreshing, rich white wine.
