Pio Cesare Piodilei Chardonnay 2021

The Pio Cesare Piodilei Chardonnay is spicy, creamy and intense, with a soft, long aftertaste. Sweet fruit, hot and ripe, still very fresh, and an elegant touch of oak. The Pio Cesare Piodilei Chardonnay has long cellaring potential and is produced in very small quantities.

"Love the aromas of cooked apples with nougat, honeysuckle and hints of wood. Full-bodied and very flavorful with a phenolic tension and focus that runs through the wine [Pio Cesare Piodilei Chardonnay]. Hints of pie crust and vanilla bean with crushed stone. Drink now or hold." - James Suckling, 95 points

"The Pio Cesare 2021 Langhe Chardonnay Piodilei is a terrific white wine, and honestly speaking, it's one of the most consistent expressions of the French grape made in Piedmont. Granted, the wine is out of context, considering the heavily red wine-focused identity of its surroundings, but it absolutely delivers on freshness of fruit, depth and carefully measured toasted oak nuances. This is your bottle when you need to break up all those delicious tastes of Barolo and Barbaresco." - RP, 93+ points
