Lenny Recanati's passion for producing high-quality wines is rooted in his Italian ancestry. Israel's ripe soils and long growing season are the perfect conditions for Recanati to produce exquisite white wines. The grapes for this full-bodied Chardonnay come from a single vineyard in the northern Galilee and were hand-picked. They were then gently pressed, vinified and then matured for nine months in French oak sur lie. The Recanati Chardonnay exudes delicate aromas, which turn out to be tropical fruits on the palate and are reminiscent of caramel and almonds in the finish. Enjoy this wine with various starters, such as fish dishes, pasta and light appetizers.
