WTN: D'Istinto Catarrato/Chardonnay 2005

Produced by Calatrasi.
IGT Sicilia.

Loads of pear and spices on the nose.

Pear, apple, nectarines, spicy, peppery, a slight bitter streak, a good dose of oak, very rich and lush in the mouth but with enough acidity to keep everything clean and refreshing. A very classy wine with good complexity and structure.

I seem to have a great deal of good luck with white wines from Sicily.

A steal at $14.95 (Canadian).
