This Didacus, a super Chardonnay made using only the most carefully selected grapes from those first 1985 Chardonnay plantings, meticulously crafted with particular attention to yeast and barrels, is a special wine dedicated to the founder, Diego Planeta. The name Didacus comes from the name Diego's father, Vito Planeta, called him when he was angry with Diego for being too mischievous, a name that was actually Diego's own favorite. Thus, this important wine was named Didacus. It is a masterpiece often hailed as Italy's finest Chardonnay, with a strong 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 climate allowed the grapes to be harvested in perfect health, resulting in a wine that expresses the maximum acidity and aromatic characteristics. Malolactic fermentation, a high percentage of new oak barrels, and frequent batonnage contribute to a very rich, creamy, and concentrated, opulent style. This is a wine with a magnificent structure that can withstand long-term aging, symbolizing the history and pride of the Planeta family.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduction method: Grapes carefully hand-picked in late August are chilled to 8℃ after harvest and left overnight. The following morning, they are strictly sorted, 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 in bottle for 12 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePairing: White meats, seafood, aged cheeses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ITALIAKARA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47553459716326,"sku":"8430916","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-woodenbox-2016-planeta","provider":"ITALIAKARA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
