Description
Chardonnay and Viognier, two international varietals, have found their locus amoenus among the sunny hills of Western Sicily: the result is a wine in which richness and roundness accompany a complex harmony. A wine capable of expressing, at the sip, that hospitality and those blends that deeply permeate Sicilian culture.

| Wine making | Harvesting of the Chardonnay and Viognier grapes took place in mid to late August, in the very early hours of the morning, so that the grapes arrived in the cellar intact and not stressed by the high temperatures of the day. The musts were subjected to cryo-maceration at 4 °C for four to six hours, after which the grapes were softly pressed and transferred to settling tanks, where clarification took place. In March, Chardonnay and Viognier were blended, when the Winemaker felt they were ready to unite and definitively create the Paxmentis Bianco blend. |
