This Didacus is a super Chardonnay made exclusively from carefully selected grapes from those first 1985 Chardonnay plantings, with meticulous attention paid to the yeast, barrels, and every other detail. It is a special wine dedicated to the founder, Diego Planeta. The name Didacus comes from the name Diego's father, Vito Planeta, would call him when he was angry at Diego for being too mischievous and naughty; in fact, it was Diego's favorite name. That's why this important wine was given the name Didacus. It is a masterpiece that is highly acclaimed as Italy's finest Chardonnay with a Sicilian identity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClassification: Menfi DOC\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrape variety: 100% Chardonnay\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting notes: 2016 was a memorable and excellent vintage for Sicily. The ideal summer and harvest season climate resulted in grapes harvested in perfect health, leading to a wine that fully expresses its acidity and aromatic characteristics. The malolactic fermentation, high percentage of new oak, and frequent bâtonnage have resulted in a very rich, creamy, and concentrated, opulent style. This is a wine with a great structure that symbolizes the history and pride of the Planeta family and can withstand long-term aging.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduction method: Grapes are carefully hand-picked in late August, then chilled to 8°C and left overnight after harvesting. The next morning, they undergo strict selection, and whole clusters are pressed, but only the best 50% of the juice from the center is used. Fermentation takes place in barrels for 9 days, followed by 10 months of aging in French oak (80% new oak), with two-thirds undergoing malolactic fermentation. It is then aged for 12 months in the bottle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairing: White meat dishes, seafood, aged cheeses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ITALIAKARA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47547056783590,"sku":"8430816","price":44000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/6681\/4182\/files\/41.png?v=1752466320","url":"https:\/\/italiakara.store\/en\/products\/didacus-chardonnay-2016-planeta","provider":"ITALIAKARA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
