Langhe Chardonnay 'Elioro' by Cordero di Montezemolo is a tribute to the hill on which the Annunziata vineyards rest, the sunniest in the area. The Chardonnay, planted in 1987, represents Giovanni Montezemolo's bet on an international variety: it expresses the desire to develop a great white which, like great reds, can also be consumed several years later. It ferments and ages in small French oak barrels for several months, in contact with the fine lees, followed by a further period of rest in bottles of about a year before being offered to connoisseurs of important aging whites.
