\nFOCUS: TERRITORIALITY WITH AN INTERNATIONAL FLAVOUR
\nSince its inception in 1991, Maria Costanza Bianco has been tangible proof of the experience
\ngained over the years in the cultivation and vinification of Chardonnay as a complement and
\nexaltation of the Inzolia, an indigenous variety, resulting in a Sicilian wine of surprising longevity
\nand elegance, something never before achieved by an island wine. The use of forms of cultivation
\nexpanded with appropriate green management, the adoption of vigorous rootstocks in synergy with matrices
\nmarly limestone soil, typical of some of our districts, have bypassed the possible
\nintrinsic limits of the grape variety deriving from its genetics, bringing out aromatic and taste aspects
\nnever emerged in their chosen territories.
\nSENSORY NOTES
\nIt has a beautiful straw yellow colour with green reflections. The nose is seductive. In the opening hints
\nof white flowers combine well with aromatic vegetables, then emerge enveloping notes of flowers and leaves of
\ncitrus fruits. In the mouth it is full and with a nice structure, the sapidity ensures great persistence.
