From the vineyards owned by the Family at Cascina Il Bricco in Treiso, in the Barbaresco area, and at Colombaro in Serralunga d'Alba in the Barolo area, which from the 2019 harvest will be replaced with Vigna Mosconi, in Monforte d'Alba, also in the Barolo area. Since 1985 it has represented the desire of the Pio Cesare Family to produce a white wine with body, complexity and longevity like the great red wines of our terroirs.
THE WINE:
The Chardonnay “Piodilei” Pio Cesare presents itself to the eye with a straw yellow color, crossed by light nuances that tend towards gold. The nose is dominated by fruity sensations, which, little by little, give way to more spicy notes, deriving from the refinement in wood. On the palate it is characterized by great softness, which envelops the mouth in a creamy, with a pleasant freshness. A label of great elegance and originality, which goes perfectly with first and second courses based on fish cooked with refined preparations.
VINIFICATION AND REFINING:
The Chardonnay is harvested in crates, gently pressed and briefly cold decanted. It ferments and stays for 10 months on the lees in barriques made of new wood for only 1/3. It then stays in the bottle.
