Description

Receive FREE ground shipping on your purchase of select Frederick Wildman Wines products. Use code: SHIPWINE upon checkout. Only available for a limited time. Cannot be combined with any other promotional offers.

Rapitalà, much like Sicily itself, is a mosaic of influences that comes together to create its unique identity. A marriage of Sicilian soul and French know-how, Rapitalà showcases the power and personality of Sicilian terroir with an elegant, French winemaking style.

The grapes are picked in August when they are fully ripe and richness is at its maximum. The grapes are gently pressed and cold settled. Part of the must undergoes a short (12 hours) cold maceration, followed by classic decanting. Fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks. When the must achieves 4-5% alcohol, the wine is racked into French oak barriques where fermentation is completed. The wine then ages on its lees in French oak barriques for 9-12 months. It is then bottle refined for a minimum of three months before release.

Bottle Size: 750ml

Vintages may vary by location; we will ship the most current vintage in stock.

Please Drink Responsibly.

Notes of Scent & Flavor

  • Color & Aroma

    Pale gold color. The typical full, fruity, soft character of the chardonnay and the aromatic notes of the wood are evident on the nose.

  • Palate & Finish

    A round wine, with well-defined Mediterranean scents, full-bodied and satisfying with a long and lingering finish.

“The chardonnay is a fine expression of the character of the estate.”

Origins

The chardonnay is a fine expression of the character of the estate. The selected parcels feature the estate’s oldest vines, planted in 1982. Specific vinification techniques enhance its typicity and its prestigious bottle, with a relief of the ancient and noble coat of arms of the family of Hugues Bernard Count de la Gatinais, makes “Grand Cru” a wine that represents the strong personality, legacy and singularity of the estate.
