    700 to 800 metres above sea level, in the Piana degli Albanesi south of Palermo – where Sicily ceases to be what one might expect. Tenuta Ficuzza lies at the heart of a vast nature reserve, with woodlands, Mediterranean scrub and vineyards woven into the landscape like a mosaic. Here, Chardonnay has found a home that reminds it of Burgundy – without copying it. Jalé is produced from the historic single vineyard "del Ventaglio", named for its fan-shaped layout. The altitude creates temperature fluctuations that Chardonnay rarely experiences on this island: slow ripening, cool fruit, natural tension. Hand-harvested in early August, cold maceration, fermentation in oldLiters – no new wood to overpower the wine, but rather a subtle integration. Six months sur lies, then bottled.

    Straw-yellow with golden highlights; pineapple, mango and citrus zest, intertwined with subtle toasted and spicy notes – a creamy body, yet with the mineral character of a wine that knows its origins. SUPERIORE.DE

    "An intense, radiant straw-yellow colour with golden highlights. On the nose, plenty of beeswax, ripe yellow peach and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, a lovely arc of flavour, juicy fruit, lively acidity and final invigorating, mouth-watering final." Falstaff

    "Spicy tangerine peel and ripe apples on the nose. Medium-bodied, sleek and balanced, with a flavorful finish." James Suckling
