The Italian Wine Crypto Bank (IWCB), the first and only Wine Bank based on blockchain, cryptocurrencies and digital assets, announced today the adhesion of Planeta as Cantina Partner, with two great wines: “Eruzione 1614” Carricante Sicilia DOC 2018 and Chardonnay Menfi DOC 2019.
The prestigious Sicilian company joins other important Italian wineries that have joined the IWCB in recent weeks, including Banfi, Baracchi, Elena Fucci, Gaja, Giuseppe Cortese, Macchie Santa Maria, Mazzei, Sordo and Tenuta Impostino.
Coming from a long way, full of surprises and success, starting in 1985, today the Planeta’s Chardonnay Sicilia Menfi Doc is an icon for the entire Sicily region. The vines of Ulmo and Maroccoli from which this wine comes are unique also in terms of terroir. The attentive and accurate fermentation together with the ageing in French oak, produce a wine with a character that has nothing to fear in the comparison with the best examples of this variety.
The fermentation at approximately 18 °C happens in barriques and is followed by the maturation with a bâtonnage made every 10 days.
In the glass the Chardonnay Sicilia Menfi 2019 shows a glittery golden colour, yet transparent, a clear evidence of the long ageing in barriques. To the nose it presents a range of distinct aromas, balancing notes of both sweet spices and vanilla with those of ripe fruit, including lemon and pineapple, and white flowers. A delicate aroma of wet stone his in the backdrop of its aromatic profile, unleashing great elegance.
To the palate, the creaminess of this Chardonnay is perfectly balanced by a crispy acidity that enhances the fruity notes in the aftertaste. The final is complex and unveils hints of acacia honey and beeswax.
This wine has the potential of a long ageing, 8-10 years at the least, in which the nuances of fruit and flowers will integrate increasingly better with the hints of wood sweet spices, making it greatly elegant.
