The Pio Cesare Piodilei Langhe Chardonnay 2023 is a winemaking jewel from Piedmont that redefines the potential of white wines. Crafted by the renowned Pio Cesare winery, founded in 1881, this wine pays homage to female strength with its name 'Piodilei'. The grapes are grown in the prestigious family vineyards Il Bricco and Colombaro, famous for their red wine production but offering exceptional terroir for Chardonnay. Its meticulous winemaking process includes gentle pressing, followed by fermentation and aging for 10 months in French oak barrels, one-third of which are new, adding complexity and volume to the wine. In tasting, it presents a bright straw-yellow color, complex aromas of roasted apple, peach, and a mineral background. On the palate, it stands out for its creaminess, balance, and long finish. Ideal for collectors, it’s an investment to enjoy for over a decade. Serve between 10-12°C in large glasses, and pair with fatty fish or aged cheeses.
