The 2014 Sicilia Jalé is a bold and full-bodied white wine from Sicily. This barrique-aged Chardonnay sees fruit sourced from the Tenuta Ficuzza property with clay soils and altitudes that reach 800 meters above sea level. The wine takes a little while to open and I initially thought it could be slightly reduced. Once it revs up, it begins to show apricot, candied fruit and toasted nut. The intensity almost reaches its full potential.
