From historic underground cellars that are part of the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage List, comes this fresh white wine. The Coppo 2021 Piemonte Chardonnay Costebianche is a stripped-down expression with basic citrus, aromas of summer grass, unripe pear and white chalk. The partially oak-fermented wine is slender and easy-drinking and would make for a happy contribution at aperitivo hour. Production is 20,000 bottles.

The Coppo 2020 Piemonte Chardonnay Costebianche is mostly fermented in steel tank with a 20% component in neutral oak. This 20,000-bottle release is fresh and zesty with citrus, white peach and crushed stone. The finish is lean and fresh, and this wine offers all the right qualities to pair with a classic appetizer of fried shrimp and calamari rings.

This bright Chardonnay from Piedmont is partially aged in wood (70% of the wine sees barrique) and the rest is aged in stainless steel. The result is that the wine shows creaminess and density by a lively citrus note does pop through as well.——M.L.(3/1/2012)—— 87
