BACK TO EDENWINES ITALIAN WINE PAGE

In 1993 Pio Cesare sought to produce a lighter style Chardonnay for its customers. The decision was made to ferment the wine in stainless steel tanks to bring out the ripe fruit flavor of the Chardonnay grape. Then the winemaker added 25% of the same fruit aged in new oak. This combination of aging produced the lovely lighter styled L’Altro Chardonnay.
