Pio Cesare Langhe Chardonnay Piodilei 2021
Starting with the 2020 vintage - which demonstrated the incredible resilience of Mother Nature at such a difficult and complex time in the world - we decided to change the label of our Piodilei Chardonnay, recovering its 'historic' label. This is a true "return to the origins" to celebrate the great challenge that we have been pursuing since 1985 thanks to the courageous and pioneering choice of the fourth generation, Pio Boffa: to produce a white wine with body, structure and longevity starting from the great potential of the Langa terroir, initially planting Chardonnay in the Barbaresco area and then later also in the Barolo area. We recall that the name of this Piodilei wine is a tribute to the key role that the Women - or rather the She - have always played in our Family, to their character and volition, very similar to the character of the Langa land.

Climate The summer season presented itself with temperatures within the norm, on average warm, without high temperature peaks, with isolated but regular thunderstorms.
Harvest he harvest of our white grapes began on 1 September with the Chardonnay (and on 3 September with the Sauvignon Blanc). In particular, the vineyards we use for the production of our Piodilei - the historic 'Il Bricco di Treiso' in the Barbaresco area and the more recently acquired 'Mosconi' in Monforte d'Alba in the Barolo area - were harvested between 1 and 5 September. At the time of harvest, the grapes were very ripe and perfectly healthy, with a rich accumulation of sugar and balanced acidity, thanks to the perfect weather conditions and not too high temperatures.
