Description

Rocca Giovanni is a small family winery in the Langhe hills of Monforte d’Alba, Piedmont.

This Chardonnay is typical of many Italian whites in that it is unoaked. It is clean and fresh with light notes of ripe apple. An extra-warm summer has added a lightly honeyed finish which lingers on the palate. Ready to drink right now with antipasti, seafood, salads, risotto or just on its own. Serve lightly chilled.

Producer

Rocca Giovanni is a small family winery located in the Langhe hills of Monforte d’Alba in Piedmont. Meaning “the foot of the mountain”, Piedmont is framed by the Alps and the Appenines, bordering Switzerland and France. The Piedmontese are unrivalled in their devotion to their craft, and the Rocca family are no exception.

Singular grape varieties have been grown for generations by the Roccas, in selected areas of land particularly suited to wine-making. Father and son, Giovanni and Maurizio, monitor every stage in the winemaking process, from the cultivation of the vines right through to the cellaring of the bottles. They supply us with the classic Italian “King of Wine”, Barolo, from the approved communes, as well as Nebbiolo, Barbera d’Asti, Dolcetto and a very pleasant Chardonnay.
