Didacus Chardonnay is a symbol of elegance, tradition and the visionary work of the Planeta family. It comes from the Contrada Ulmo, a plot planted in 1985, and reflects the history of Chardonnay in Sicily - a grape variety whose success on the island was largely shaped by Diego Planeta. With its golden color in the glass and refined aromatic depth, this wine perfectly expresses the magic of Menfi, the “Bolgheri of the South”. Notes of yellow apples, peach, almond extract and vanilla custard mingle with sweet smoke to create an exotic, multi-layered bouquet.

On the palate, the Didacus unfolds a velvety texture, almost oily, which impresses with a masterful balance of ripe fruit, salty minerals and elegant spice. Sweet spices and a subtle hint of wood add depth, while the finish is long and ends with an accent of roasted hazelnut and a subtle bitterness. This exceptional Chardonnay is one of the best in Italy and is a tribute to the future and heritage of Sicilian viticulture. - Gerardo [TS10/22]

"The back label of the two Didacus wines - the white from Chardonnay, the red from Cabernet Franc - reads: 'This bottle contains our vision of wine. Elegance and tradition. Family and future. Sicily as we have always dreamed of it.' Menfi and its vineyards between the sea and the hills, as a place of choice for growing French varieties - almost a Bolgheri of the South - is a vision that has accompanied the Planeta family since the mid-1980s." - Falstaff

"The 2019 Chardonnay Didacus is a pretty golden color. An exotic mix of crushed yellow apples and hints of peach is complemented by almond extract, vanilla custard and sweet smoke. This is seamlessly silky and nearly oily in feel, communicating undeniable elegance, with confectionery spices mixing with saline-minerals to create a push and pull of tension, as ripe orchard fruits settle upon the senses. The 2019 finishes impossibly long with a perfectly integrated hint of oak that lingers, which is more of an accent than a distraction, as a bitter trace of hazelnut slowly fades. This classy rendition of Didacus ranks among the top Italian Chardonnays that I’ve ever tasted." - Vinous

"The Didacus comes from the Contrada Ulmo from a plot planted in 1985. The fact that today more than 3,000 hectares of vineyards in Sicily are planted with Chardonnay certainly has a lot to do with Diego Planeta." - Weinwirtschaft
