Langhe Chardonnay

By Rapalino, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy

Rapalino Langhe Chardonnay

Barrel-aged still white from Chardonnay grown at Alba and Neviglie, 12 months on the lees in oak and tonneaux. Marco thinks of it as a red wine disguised as a white, with the structure and complexity of the Langhe.

Tasting notes

Golden yellow, with elegant notes of hazelnut and vanilla on the nose. The palate has great intensity, complexity and persistence. A wine of structure and longevity.

Pairs well with

Excellent with mushroom and truffle dishes.
