Favor an oaky, California Chardonnay? Then do not buy this wine. Vinified and aged exclusively in stainless steel, made in a reductive style, this Piemonte Chardonnay is brisk and clean, full of lemon zest and gunflint.

The De Forville's planted these Chardonnay vines 40 years ago. They wanted the occasional break from drinking Nebbiolo, especially in the warm, summer months.
