Boglietti grows Chardonnay in La Morra on limestone soils with silt and sand, which provide the drainage and mineral uptake the variety needs without the heavy clay that would make it soft. La Morra's elevation, between 300 and 400 meters, and the Langhe hills' consistent diurnal temperature swings keep the acidity intact through the growing season, which is not a given for Chardonnay in a warm region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e100% Chardonnay, Guyot trained. Fermented and aged following Boglietti's house approach: indigenous yeasts, minimal intervention, no heavy new oak. The same shift that reshaped the Barolos toward larger vessels and gentler handling applies here. 2024 in Piedmont was marked by dry conditions through summer and even ripening; early assessments describe good concentration and clean fruit without excess weight. The 2024 Langhe Chardonnay shows white peach, lemon, almond, and the clean mineral finish of La Morra limestone. Unoaked in character; precise and dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe People\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnzo Boglietti founded the estate in 1991, initially making wines in the modern style alongside neighbor Roberto Voerzio: barriques, accessible fruit, internationally-oriented. Over the following decades he moved deliberately toward larger oak, reduced extraction, and traditional post-fermentation techniques. The Chardonnay exists within a lineup dominated by Nebbiolo and Barolo, which is not the worst context for a white wine: the same attention, the same farming, the same La Morra terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVitello tonnato, tagliolini al tartufo, a rich risotto Milanese, or roasted veal with sage and butter.
