Wines made from Chardonnay grapes of Piave
Discover the best wines made with Chardonnay as a single variety or as a blend of Piave.
Whites with many faces: mineral and taut at Chablis (lemon, green apple, flint), opulent and buttery at Meursault and Puligny-Montrachet (hazelnut, brioche, yellow fruits), tense and chalky in Champagne (Blanc de Blancs). Also vinified sparkling and widely exported (Sonoma, Margaret River, Casablanca). A Burgundian variety, a cross of Pinot Noir × Gouais Blanc, half-sibling of Aligoté.
Fruity and accessible, these Merlot-dominated reds appeal with signature aromas of plum, red cherry, supple tannins and gourmand palate. The Cabernets bring firmer herbaceous notes. The native Raboso yields more tannic and acidic reds, elevated to DOCG Piave Malanotte (ageworthy). Few minority whites (Pinot Grigio, Verduzzo).
