An Piota - amphora

Clayey and calcareous soil, ideal for An Piota, a name derived from the Piedmontese dialect which means "smart", for a Chardonnay grown in amphora and really "different"

We wanted to change, Chardonnay has no real territorial identity here, so we took the liberty of taking a different path for this vineyard planted in the 70s and making it "ours" thanks to the use of a tool naturally used in viticulture. antiquity, the Amphora!

Everything in amphora up to the bottle:  from the long vinification on the skins (about a couple of months), then pressing and permanence on the fine lees until bottling, which normally takes place six months after the harvest, in spring.

As it once was!
