Chardonnay Contessa Entellina "OPERA UNICA" DOC Donnafugata

This bottle is sold with its silk-screened case

Opera Unica is made from 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in the vineyards of south-western Sicily, at the Tenuta di Contessa Entellina: its name derives from the fact that production is limited to only 6574 bottles, which are born in unusual climatic conditions. This wine was in fact born from a vintage that was particularly rainy compared to the average: following the manual harvest of the first days of September the fermentation took place at 18-20 ºC for 12-14 days, with subsequent aging of 9 months in steel and over 4 years in bottle.
