Description

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.
