Chardonnay in the Langhe terroir
The Langhe DOC Chardonnay I Patriarchi is our interpretation of Chardonnay from the Langhe terroir. The hilly soil, with a good percentage of marl and sand, and the cool evening breeze make this vineyard ideal for the production of a white grape variety like Chardonnay. The result is a wine where the power of the overripe grapes expresses itself with the complexity born from the extended ageing of the must on the skins.
