The grapes are sourced from the family's estate vineyards in the Langhe region of Piedmont, Italy. The vineyards are situated on south-facing slopes with calcareous soils, providing ideal growing conditions for the Chardonnay grape. The wine is fermented and aged in French oak barrels, resulting in a rich and complex flavor profile with notes of tropical fruit, vanilla, and toasted oak. Piodilei Chardonnay is a full-bodied wine with a creamy texture and a long, elegant finish. It is a perfect pairing for seafood, poultry, and creamy pasta dishes.
