Langhe Chardonnay DOC Elioro - Cordero di Montezemolo

With the Cordero di Montezemolo Langhe Chardonnay Elioro, a first-class white wine is poured into the glass. It has a wonderfully bright, golden yellow color. After the first swirl, you can perceive a first-class balance in this white wine, as it is neither watery nor syrupy or liqueur-like on the walls of the glass. The first nose of the Langhe Chardonnay Elioro reveals pineapple, star fruit and oranges. The fruity components of the bouquet are joined by notes of barrel ageing and even more fruity, balsamic nuances.

The Cordero di Montezemolo Langhe Chardonnay Elioro is wonderfully dry for wine lovers. This white wine is never coarse or austere, as you would expect from a wine in the icon wine segment. The Langhe Chardonnay Elioro is wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate thanks to its vital fruit acidity. The finish of this youthful white wine from the Piedmont wine-growing region is delightfully long. There are again hints of pink grapefruit and lemongrass.
