Feudo Disisa
Sicily is culturally outside Italy on the continent in many ways. Here they have different traditions and different ways of doing things that give this relatively large island a sense of undeniable individuality. Feudo Disisa is a great example of this. The property stretches between the valleys Belice and Jato, which gently descend to the sea. The Di Lorenzo family has been the owner for the last almost 200 years and manages to combine tradition with the latest technology and passion for the production of excellent wines. Nero d’Avola is the main variety grown for the rich red wines, which perfectly transmit the heat to Sicily. Feudo Disisa produces one of the best examples of this - Vuaria.

Sicily
The Greeks, Phoenicians, Arabs, and Italians have ruled over Sicily. Although the Greeks introduced their advanced viticulture techniques, Sicilians have been producing wine since 4000 BC. The dry and warm climate is characterized by regular sunshine and moderate rainfall, suitable for wine production. The dry conditions reduce the likelihood of rot and mold, especially in areas kissed by the coastal breeze. This makes Sicily a prime candidate for organic farming. Olives, citrus fruits, and grains push the agricultural sector beyond wine. In the past, however, farmers opted for higher yields, turning Sicily into a center for more affordable wines. Regions with heritage like Marsala put Sicilian wine on the map. The wine traditions in each of the island's regions, from Vittoria to Mount Etna, are strong. In the 1980s, the revival of interest brought improvements in viticulture and winemaking. Today, Sicily is becoming one of the most exciting labels in Italy.

Chardonnay
Chardonnay is the world's most famous white-wine grape and also one of the most widely planted. Of course, the most highly regarded expressions of the variety are those from Burgundy and California, but many high-quality examples are made in Italy, Australia, New Zealand and parts of South America. Describing the flavours of Chardonnay is not easy. This is not thanks to the complexity of the varietal itself but usually due its susceptibility to winemaking techniques - such as Malolactic fermentation which gives distinctive buttery aromas or Fermentation or maturation in oak barrels which contributes to the wine with smokey notes of vanilla, honey and even cinnamon, and not last the lees contact while in barrel imparts biscuity, doughy flavours. And all these incorporated with the varietal aromas of tropical (banana, pineapple and guava) to stone fruits (peach, nectarine and apricot), sometimes even citrus and apple notes. Climate plays a major role in dictating which fruit flavours a Chardonnay will have - warm regions (California, Australia ) make more tropical styles; temperate zones (southern Burgundy, New Zealand) - stone fruit notes, while the very coolest (Chablis, Champagne) lean towards green-apple aromas.
