開けたてはすっきりし過ぎの感があったが、5日ぐらい経ってから厚みが出て良い感じ

Tasted October 2013

Splendid Chardonnay from Donnafugata exposing deepness of impact on your senses.
This wine debuted along with the Contessa Entellina DOC in 1994. La Fuga label express movement, sunshine and the land.
 
Fermented in stainless steel then aged in tanks on its noble lees for 3 months, at least 3 months more in bottles.

Powerful nose full of pineapple, banana, passionfruit, mango, scented by thyme. 
Excellently balanced, medium bodied wine showing great tension between delicate minerality + refreshing acidity and tropical fruits and herbal accent. 
Works perfectly with Sicilian crustaceans Kous-Kous and chicken noodle wok.

Very good nose, hint of peach. In the mouth a slight sensation of oak. Nice mouthfeel. Quite a complex wine. 2013 vintage.
