The team at I Mori combines traditional winemaking techniques with modern innovations, ensuring that each vintage is a true representation of the region's potential.

Tasting Note - I Mori Chardonnay 2021
The 2021 vintage of I Mori Chardonnay is a vibrant and elegant expression of this popular varietal, showcasing the unique influence of the Sicilian terroir. The wine displays a pale straw yellow colour with golden highlights, reflecting its freshness and maturity.

On the nose, the I Mori Chardonnay 2021 offers an inviting bouquet of tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango, complemented by notes of ripe citrus, particularly lemon zest and green apple. These fruity aromas are balanced by subtle hints of white flowers and a touch of vanilla from gentle oak aging.

The palate is medium-bodied and well-rounded, with a crisp acidity that adds vibrancy to the wine. Flavours of juicy peach, pear, and citrus are prominent, with an underlying minerality that provides depth and complexity. The oak influence is delicate, adding a creamy texture and a hint of toasty notes without overpowering the fruit. The finish is clean and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of citrus and almond.
