Hailing from the rolling Monferrato hills within the Piemonte DOC, the 2023 'L'Arpian' Chardonnay captures the vibrant energy of a warm and dynamic vintage. The 2023 growing season in Piedmont was marked by a hot summer, which allowed the Chardonnay grapes to achieve optimal phenolic ripeness, resulting in rich stone fruit and citrus aromas. To preserve the grape's natural freshness and the distinct mineral undertones of the local soils, the wine is vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, avoiding heavy oak influence. This approach highlights a clean, expressive profile that balances the sun-drenched warmth of the vintage with the crisp, cooling alpine breezes that sweep through the Asti province at night.
