"Chardonnay grown in Piemonte has great character and a style all its own. Marco Dogliotti grows about one hectare of Chardonnay in the village of Ottiglio Monferrato, which is a beautifully green, hilly, and slightly forested area in the province of Alessandria, Piemonte. The wine is aged for 12-18 months in small oak casks, and it tends to be a richer style of Chardonnay, with beautiful mineral characteristics, rounded and soft on the palate." - Winery
"Piemonte is known for making whites form Arneis but the tiny production of Chardonnay is a well prized secret. Marco Dogliotti has just one hectare of Chardonnay in this premium Italian region. This is a beautiful wine bursting with personality. It has just a touch of oak but plenty of soft, concentrated flavour. It is a richer, rounder style showing that Italy can give France a run for its money with Chardonnay!" - Wine House
