"L'Altro" Chardonnay Langhe DOC 2023

It is called L'Altro and is a Langhe DOC proposed here by Pio Cesare. A fresh and lively alternative to the classic Piedmontese Chardonnay. In fact, this wine is the result of the meeting of two grapes, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, which blend harmoniously to give life to a label with a decisive character and contemporary taste. The grapes of the blend come from vineyards owned by the Pio Cesare family, located in particularly suitable areas within the Langhe. The Chardonnay gives structure and elegance to the wine. The Sauvignon Blanc, on the other hand, adds freshness and aromatic notes, completing the picture with a touch of liveliness. The grapes are vinified separately in steel at a controlled temperature. The Sauvignon Blanc retains its aromatic freshness, while the Chardonnay matures for a short time in barriques, where it acquires a slight complexity. In the glass, L'Altro is an intense straw yellow colour with greenish reflections. The nose opens with a fresh and fruity bouquet, with hints of citrus fruits, white peach, white flowers and notes of aromatic herbs. In the mouth the wine is lively and mineral, with a persistent and pleasant finish. Its freshness and minerality make it ideal with fish dishes, shellfish, grilled vegetables and light first courses. Try it also as an aperitif or with fresh cheeses. It is not afraid of a challenge and knows how to conquer the taste buds of all, experts and enthusiasts alike, with its freshness and decisive character.
