A showstopping wine, this is a vibrant blend of Chardonnay with Piedmont's native Nascetta grape. The Chardonnay is aged for ten months in oak while the Nascetta ferments on its own lees in stainless steel. Weekly batonnage (lees stirring) is used for both parcels to impart texture before blending. The resulting wine is an intense yellow in colour with fresh broad flavours of peach, citrus and wet stone. A top wine from the Langhe, beautifully matured and with a tip of the hat stylistically to France. 13%
