Piemonte DOC Chardonnay Monteriolo
40 Vintages of Elegance
This bottle is the fruit of four decades of care and of a unique Piedmont terroir. Forty years of harvests have written a precious page in our history.
Coppo’s Monteriolo Chardonnay celebrates this historic milestone with a special edition that honors its heritage while highlighting the present.
The grapes, expertly tended by Coppo Cantine of Canelli, the careful vinification, the delicate barrel aging, and the appropriate bottle aging over these 40 years have yielded vintages that demonstrate the full potential of the land and of a great grape like Chardonnay.
This Special Edition invites us to celebrate the vineyard and the passion, and to look to the future with confidence, with the same care that made every single harvest possible.
