About the Wine
This 100% Chardonnay bursts with crisp apple and tropical fruit, like sunshine in a bottle. Perfect for brunches, picnics, or Friday nights with friends. Pairs with creamy pastas, seafood, and laughter. Life’s too short for boring wine. Alla Salute!
Dating back to the 17th century, the Scrimaglio (Escrimeaux) family's journey began when they sought refuge in Piedmont, leaving behind their French origins. It was in 1920 that Pietro Scrimaglio laid the foundation for a winemaking legacy that would span generations. Building on his father's work, he set the stage for future success.
Scrimaglio embodies "Character, clarity, and precision" in their approach to Piedmontese grape varieties. Their wines beautifully blend tradition and innovation, paying homage to their homeland.
In the 1980s, the family played a pivotal role in revitalizing Barbera d'Asti and restoring its prominence. This legacy lives on, as their devotion to the "Nizza" subzone earned it the "Nizza DOCG" designation.
Scrimaglio follows a purely traditional style complemented by modern winemaking techniques, all in the service of highlighting the unique qualities of each wine without overdoing it.
Vite Colte Winery is one of the biggest cooperatives in Piedmont and a global standout. Originally called "Terre da Vino," it was revamped to "Vite Colte" in 2016 to make a splash in the wine world. With 180 skilled growers and 300 hectares of vineyards, it's a force in Barolo and beyond.
What sets them apart? Terrific terroir, savvy members, and cutting-edge science mean they produce top-quality wines.
Their facility is a blend of tech and art, a must-see for wine and culture lovers. Vite Colte crafts Piedmontese classics like Barbera d'Asti, Barbera d'Alba, Nizza, Roero, Moscato d'Asti, Barolo, and Barbaresco, often named after Cesare Pavese's works. Scrimaglio is Vite Colte's boutique winery where they only pick the very best of the vineyards.
Chardonnay, the world’s rockstar grape, shines bright in Piedmont’s perfect soils and sunny hills.
After a gentle crush and cool fermentation that lock in fresh aromas, the wine rests on its lees to build rich, creamy layers and preserve its freshness.
A splash of last year’s barrique-aged wine adds depth and character, making this blend bold, smooth, and ready to impress from the first sip.
Aging: On the lees in steel vats
Tasting Notes
100% Chardonnay.
Straw yellow in color, this wine offers an intense and complex bouquet dominated by ripe fruit aromas. On the palate, it is smooth and inviting, with vibrant notes of yellow fruit—especially apple and banana—delivering a harmonious and approachable experience.
Critic Reviews
Aromas of melon, mandarin and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied with bright acidity and a slightly waxy texture, followed by a delicious bitterness, almond-like, bringing freshness and a lift to the succulent finish. Drink now. ~ 91 James Suckling
