Piedmont Chardonnay DOC Family Reserve 2017: elegance and depth from Piedmont

Piedmont Chardonnay DOC Family Reserve 2017 by Coppo Luigi is a white wine with a refined style, designed to express the most ambitious side of Chardonnay in Piedmont. It is born from a careful selection of grapes and limited production, reserved for the best vintages, with the aim of offering an intense, structured wine with great personality.

Territory and wine style

The Piedmont Chardonnay DOC designation and the area of Castelnuovo Calcea tell a precise origin, linked to a territory suited for quality. The vineyards are located about 200 meters above sea level, with a south-southeast exposure, in a context of clay-limestone marls enriched with gypsum, iron conglomerates, and calcium carbonate. These elements help to outline a profile of marked finesse, with a clear mineral imprint and a structure suitable for supporting aging in wood. Hand harvesting and the selection of the healthiest and ripest grapes are further signs of a careful and rigorous production philosophy.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents with an intense straw yellow, almost golden, a sign of maturity and concentration. On the nose, it offers a complex and articulated bouquet, where mineral notes, hints of flint and propolis emerge, along with loquat, yellow pear, and ripe exotic fruit. On the palate, it is enveloping, full, and of excellent structure, with a harmonious progression and a long, persistent finish. Aging in barrique contributes to giving volume and complexity, without sacrificing precision on the palate.

Recommended pairings

This Piedmont white wine pairs easily with flavorful and structured dishes. It is ideal with important shellfish, baked fish, white meats in rich preparations, risottos with delicate yet creamy ingredients, mushrooms, truffles, and not overly aggressive aged cheeses. Its body and persistence make it suitable for gourmet cuisine, where a white wine capable of accompanying without getting lost is needed.

Serving temperature

Serve the Piedmont Chardonnay DOC Family Reserve 2017 at 14°C. If possible, opening it a few minutes in advance helps to bring out the aromatic complexity more clearly, especially when served in wide glasses.
