Fondo Antico is a family‑run winery in the Trapani area, built on deep respect for Sicilian land and the century‑long winemaking heritage of the Polizzotti‑Scuderi family. Across 80 hectares of vineyards in Contrada Portelli, tradition blends with innovation, resulting in wines that capture the strength, generosity and distinctive character of Sicily.

Chardonnay is an ancient grape variety of unquestionable elegance: its typical notes of vanilla, banana and tobacco blend with fresher hints of orange blossom, figs and spices. The palate is full and long, with a savory finish imparted by the land. It is cultivated on calcareous hills that reflect the light and the glow of the sun — elements to which the name of Lumiere Chardonnay is dedicated.
