White
Filosofia
By Ca' Viola, Dogliani, Piemonte, Italy
Langhe Chardonnay launched in 2021 for the estate's thirtieth anniversary, after years of study on whites by Giuseppe Caviola; dedicated to his daughter Sofia.
Tasting notes
Bright, vivid straw colour. Seductive nose of citron, linden and lime with broom flowers, a hint of melted butter and flint. Decisive on the palate, balanced between acidity and volume. Satisfying, refined, persistent finish.
