The Story

Piodilei has been produced by the Pio Cesare Family since 1985 vintage. It represents our desire to produce a white wine from our own vineyards in the Barbaresco and Barolo with the same body, complexity and ageing potential of the great reds historically produced in those areas.

Grape variety: Chardonnay 100% (Langhe DOC)

Vineyards: A single vineyard barrel fermented Chardonnay from the Pio Cesare Family owned Chardonnay vineyard of Cascina Il Bricco in Treiso, in the Barbaresco area and of the Colombaro in Serralunga d’Alba, in the Barolo area.

Vinification and Ageing: The grapes are soflty pressed at low temperature and fermented in barriques, on the lees for 8 months. In the bottle for at least six months

Notes: Spicy, creamy, intense, soft, long aftertaste, sweet fruit, hot and ripe, still very fresh, elegant touch of oak. Long life. Produced in very small quantity.

Good looking normal size bottle. Colour is green-yellow. On the nose it is youthful, intense, complex, refined, fresh, charming and generous. The taste is fresh, focused, elegant, vivid, refined, and dry, and average in acidity, medium-bodied, with balanced, well-structured, well-integrated, concentrated structure and youthful. On the palate it is layered and has cigar-box, mineral, new-oak, toasty and spice flavours. The finish is medium long, lingering, spicy and vibrant. This wine is sophisticated and fine. Perfectly stored bottles are still very worthy and will last well for another 10-15 years and decant at least 45min before tasting.
