If Pecchenino is traditionally known for its great Dolcetto and Barolo, the Maestro reveals another facet of this family winery: the ability to give Chardonnay at 700 metres above sea level in the Alta Langa a form of expression that combines freshness with elegance. Since 1994, this wine has been produced from the vineyards around Bossolasco, where the Piedmontese hills rise up towards the Ligurian Apennines. Here, on medium-heavy soils with a high proportion of limestone and clay, the Chardonnay benefits from a south-easterly exposure and the cool climate that ensures pronounced acidity and aromatic intensity. After the harvest at the beginning of September, the chilled grapes are gently pressed, the must is naturally decanted and fermented in stainless steel tanks. Maturation takes place partly on the fine lees in steel and partly in barriques.

Brilliant straw yellow colour. Fresh floral aromas, citrus fruit and hints of exotic fruit on the nose. Medium-bodied on the palate with lively acidity and fine minerality – balanced, elegant, with remarkable complexity and persistence. A Chardonnay that makes the altitude tangible and proves that Piedmont is capable of far more than just great red wines. SUPERIORE.DE
