The 2016 Sicilia Chardonnay Laudàri is an oak-driven white wine with dried apricot, honey, toasted almond and creamy almond aromas. This is a medium-bodied Chardonnay with enough structure, volume and texture to pair with shellfish or white meat. The style borders on being too big, but it ultimately works out nicely in terms of mouthfeel. The wine is aged in barrique for four months, and it sees an additional eight months in bottle before its commercial release. Some 9,942 bottles were released.
