Pio Cesare Piodilei Langhe Chardonnay Branco

Description

Right then, let’s have a go. Here’s a slightly bemused take on the Pio Cesare Langhe Chardonnay: Apparently, this wine is the product of a rather intense family determination to channel the grandeur of Barolo and Barbaresco. The grapes were handled with the careful precision of a dancing elephant – a touch dramatic, perhaps – and fermented for what felt like an age in French oak. The result? A wine boasting a body that rivals some of the region’s biggest reds, a complexity demanding a bit of mental exertion, and, of course, a potential for ageing that suggests it'll remain intriguing for quite some time. Excellent with aged sheep’s cheese or roasted fowl, to truly appreciate the family’s ambitious spirit.
