The 2024 Chionetti Langhe Riesling DOC is a distinctive and terroir-driven white wine from Piedmont, showcasing the winery’s exploration beyond its traditional red varieties. Crafted from 100% Rhine Riesling and grown in high-altitude vineyards (around 500–600 meters) in Dogliani, it reflects mineral-rich marl and sandstone soils that bring precision and character.
The nose is fresh and aromatic, revealing notes of citrus, green apple and white flowers, with subtle herbal and lightly vegetal nuances. On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, delivering a crisp, energetic profile. Flavours of lemon, orchard fruit and mineral tones are supported by a saline edge, leading to a clean, refreshing and precise finish.
The style is bright, mineral and highly food-friendly, offering a Northern Italian interpretation of Riesling that emphasizes freshness and terroir over overt richness. Fermented and aged in stainless steel with lees contact, it maintains purity while gaining subtle texture.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a unique find for customers looking to explore Riesling outside Germany or Alsace. Ideal for those who enjoy crisp, mineral whites like dry Riesling or Sauvignon Blanc. This is not a rich or sweet style—it’s all about freshness, acidity and precision. Drink from 2026 or enjoy young over the next 4–6 years. Perfect with seafood, light pasta or aperitif occasions.
