Description
What kind of wine it is
Molino a Vento by Tenute Orestiadi is a still white wine that precisely expresses the character of Chardonnay grown in Sicily. Produced in the Terre Siciliane area, it appears with intense golden reflections. On the nose, it offers a harmonious bouquet, where light notes of honey intertwine with hints of fresh fruit and wildflowers. The palate confirms remarkable cleanliness of flavour, supported by a pleasant acidity that leads to a fresh and balanced finish.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from Gibellina, in the Valle del Belìce, an area of Sicily deeply connected to rural culture and history. The Tenute Orestiadi winery has rooted its identity in this outstanding wine-growing region. The vineyards, trained using the Guyot system, take root in dark alluvial soils that are deep, medium-textured, and of silty clay-sandy nature. These pedoclimatic conditions allow for optimal vine development, giving the wine a balanced structure and vibrant freshness.
How it is produced
Vinification begins with destemming of the bunches, followed by gentle pressing to obtain a clear and fragrant must. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, between 18 and 20°C, for about ten to fifteen days. This technique, aimed at preserving the integrity of the fruit and avoiding oxidation, enhances the varietal clarity of the grape, giving a dynamic profile and a lively acidic backbone that supports the entire tasting experience.
History and Curiosities
The Chardonnay Terre Siciliane IGT originates in the heart of the Belìce Valley, in Gibellina, where art, myth, and Mediterranean fragrances come together. The Tenute Orestiadi winery, founded in 2008, celebrates Sicilian culture through the Molino a Vento range. The grapes, grown using the Guyot method on dark alluvial soils of silty-clay nature, undergo gentle pressing to preserve their aromatic essence. The result is a wine with a golden colour and notes of honey and wildflowers, offering a fresh and harmonious finish, a true expression of the island's tradition.
