Monteriolo Piemonte DOC Chardonnay 2021 Cantine Coppo

Monteriolo: An Heir to the Piedmontese Winemaking Tradition

Piedmont Doc Monteriolo is a wine that brings with it a fascinating history, which began in the first half of the 19th century thanks to Count Filippo Asinari of San Marzano and Costigliole . After his return from France, he brought some Chardonnay cuttings from Montrachet to Piedmont. The composition of the clay-limestone marly soil and the microclimate of Piedmont have favored the rooting and prosperity of these vines.

A Winemaking That Respects Tradition

The vinification of Piedmontese Chardonnay begins with a soft pressing of the grapes, followed by fermentation in barrique. Part of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation, which adds complexity and softness. The refinement in barrique on the yeasts with frequent batonnages gives the wine a rich and multifaceted structure.

Aromas and Flavors That Tell the Territory

This Chardonnay has a bright straw yellow color . On the nose, aromas of exotic fruit such as mango and banana emerge, enriched by fresh vegetal sensations of green pepper. In the mouth, the structure of the wine is balanced by a fresh and clear acidity, making it an ideal companion for dishes such as tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms, pan-fried rabbit and summer vegetable dips. A wine that best expresses the richness and diversity of the Piedmontese territory, to be served at a temperature of 14°C.
