An incredibly complex and vibrant Piemontese Chardonnay. Originally championed by Pio Boffa, it is one of the first barrel-fermented and aged Italian Chardonnays.

For Pio Cesare, Piodilei represents the desire to produce a white wine with the same body, complexity and ageing potential of the great reds historically produced in the area. Federica Boffa has said that the Piodilei “tastes like Burgundy.” It is flinty and mineral driven, with baked apple, hazelnut, button mushrooms and a touch of smoke. Eight months in French oak with extensive lees contact results in a fresh and elegant white wine with a long life. Produced in small quantities.
