Pio Cesare Piodilei Chardonnay 2020 750ml

Pio Cesare have been making wines in their ancient cellars in central Alba for 141 years, from their vineyards based primarily in Barolo and Barbaresco. Today, fifth generation Federica Boffa with her cousin Cesare Benvenuto lead this prestigious estate, after the untimely passing of Pio Boffa in 2021 after 40 years as the face of Pio Cesare.

On the nose are elegant flavours of ripe fruit and hints of spice. The palate is spicy, creamy and intense with sweet ripe fruit, very fresh with an elegant touch of oak and a long soft aromatic finish.

The Pio Cesare 2020 Langhe Chardonnay Piodilei is a beautifully soft and creamy expression with aromas of tropical fruit, toasted almond and poached pear. It offers terrific energy and vitality with a lot going on aromatically.
