Intense golden yellow in colour, notes of banana, pineapple, candied lemon peel and candied fruit on the nose with a hint of vanilla, cinnamon and white chocolate. The flavour is fruity, very rich and dense with a balanced acidity structure and hints of ripe fruit on the finish. A wonderful Sicilian Chardonnay that perfectly combines the sophistication of the international grape variety with the charm of the Mediterranean climate. SUPERIORE.DE

"Fine creamy note with some brioche and lemon pastry to the sliced apples, minerals and green pineapple. Very fresh on the palate, with a medium body and bright, radiant acidity. Fresh, creamy finish with good length." James Suckling

"It is a juicy, savoury expression that combines hints of papaya with lime and floral notes. It shows excellent balance and a complexity of woody spices, green fruits and tropical fruits on the long finish." Decanter

"Intense, bright straw yellow with silver reflections. Fine aromas of mango, ripe pineapple, apricot and banana on the nose, with fresh brioche in the background. Fresh and juicy on the palate, slightly salty, with good drinkability and an elegant, long final." Falstaff

"The 2021 Chardonnay Vigna San Francesco opens slowly in the glass as crushed yellow apples, chamomile, tropical melon and the slightest hint of vanilla bean form its inviting bouquet. It’s silky-smooth yet lifted in feel, with a real sense of purity. Ripe orchard fruits and mineral tones swirl throughout, contrasted by hints of lemon oil and fennel. It finishes long and lightly structured, with a sour citrus tinge and an inner air of flinty stone that slowly fades. The 2021 Vigna San Francesco is pure class." Vinous

"On the nose, the tart citrus flavours are balanced by a textured undertone of salted almonds. On the palate, the fruit becomes juicier and fresher, but the roasted nuttiness asserts itself for a smoky, savoury big final. Big, round and full, even if the razor-sharp acidity and undeniable saltiness provide an invigorating freshness." Wine Enthusiast
