Pio Cesare, a historic family-owned winery established in 1881 in Alba, Italy, has long been a symbol of Piedmont’s winemaking excellence. Spanning five generations, the Pio family remains committed to crafting wines that reflect the distinct terroirs of the region, combining tradition with meticulous attention to detail.
The 2021 'Piodilei' Chardonnay showcases a pale straw hue with golden highlights. On the nose, it reveals aromas of cooked apples, honeysuckle, nougat, and delicate hints of oak. The palate is rich and full-bodied, offering flavours of vanilla bean, crushed stone, and pie crust, balanced by phenolic tension and a focused, mineral-driven freshness. A soft yet persistent finish underscores its elegance, making it enjoyable now or suitable for ageing over the next 5 to 7 years.
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, creamy risotto, or grilled seafood, elevating each dish with its refined complexity. Together, these combinations create an unforgettable dining experience.
The 2021 vintage benefited from favourable conditions in Piedmont, resulting in wines that exude freshness and depth. Pio Cesare’s 'Piodilei' Chardonnay is a testament to the winery’s dedication to showcasing the region’s exceptional potential for white wines.
