Cordero San Giorgio Chardonnay Rivone Oltrepò Pavese DOC 2022 (750ml) *

Grown in the Oltrepò Pavese, the hilly stretch of southern Lombardy that supplies much of the region's still and sparkling wine, this is a still Chardonnay from Cordero San Giorgio, bottled under the Rivone label from the 2022 vintage. Chardonnay is a grape that reflects where it grows and how it is handled, and in a cooler northern Italian setting it tends toward a leaner, orchard-fruit style with fresh acidity rather than the tropical weight of warmer climates.
