Lodali Chardonnay DOC
Summary Lodali Chardonnay Langhe DOC is a fresh, elegant white from the historic Lodali winery in the Langhe region of Piedmont, Italy (founded in 1939 by Giovanni Lodali and now run by the family). Made from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from vineyards in Alba, La Morra, and Lequio Berria on calcareous soils, it's fermented and aged in stainless steel (or sometimes lightly in acacia wood for select lots) to preserve purity, minerality, and crisp fruit. This approachable Chardonnay captures Langhe's cool elegance with citrus-driven freshness and subtle complexity—dry, zesty, and aristocratic in style. Versatile and food-friendly, pair with aperitifs, appetizers, pasta dishes, fish, shellfish, or white meats.

Expert Review "Straw yellow with pale green reflections. Delicate, persistent, and elegant on the nose; dry, tangy, and aristocratic on the palate. Aromas of apple, lemon-lime citrus, wildflowers, and tropical fruits lead to flavors of pear, lemon, lime zest, ripe pineapple, and green apple with crisp medium-plus acidity and a clean finish." – Producer / retailer tasting notes (consistent across recent vintages like 2023-2024; often praised for refreshing crispness, mineral elegance, and value in Langhe Chardonnay)
The Frenchman Says "This Lodali Langhe Chardonnay glides into the glass like Piedmontese morning mist, bursting with crisp green apple, lemon-lime zest, and a cheeky tropical pineapple tease — dry, tangy, and aristocratically elegant, it leaves you refreshed, enchanted, and anticipating another poised pour."
