PioCesareL’AltroChardonnay2023

<p>Pio Cesare L’Altro Chardonnay is a vibrant, modern expression of Piedmont’s white wine potential. Made from carefully selected Chardonnay grapes, it is predominantly fermented in stainless steel to preserve freshness, with a portion aged in oak to add texture and depth. The result is a wine brimming with citrus, peach, and apple aromas, balanced by gentle creaminess and a clean, lingering finish. Stylish, versatile, and effortlessly drinkable, it’s equally at home with a simple lunch or a more elaborate dinner.This historic family-owned estate is named after its founder Cesare Pio, who established the business in 1881. The winery is based in Alba, in the heart of Piemonte and is now run by Federica Boffa and Cesare Benvenuto, the fifth generation of the family. Pio Cesare developed Barolo’s reputation overseas in the 50s by being one of the first producers to export the wine to the UK. The founder’s great grandson Pio Boffa was deeply convinced of the importance of cultivating and growing owned land to produce high quality wines and played a key role in the acquisition of vineyards in the same locations where Cesare Pio used to buy his grapes from. Today Pio Cesare owns 70 hectares in the hills of Barolo and Barbaresco and makes wines in a style that manages to balance the best of the old with the best of the new. The estate includes most of the municipalities in the Barolo and Barbaresco areas.Pio Cesare L’Altro Chardonnay 2023</p>
