Tenuta Carretta is a historic Piedmontese estate with deep roots in the Roero area and a reputation for expressing the character of its vineyards with precision and refinement. Alongside the region’s celebrated red varieties, the estate also works with international grapes such as Chardonnay, applying a thoughtful, quality-focused approach that respects Piedmont’s naturally fresh, food-friendly wine style.

In the glass, the wine is pale straw with delicate golden highlights. The nose opens with aromas of ripe pear, green apple, white peach, and citrus, accompanied by subtle floral tones and a lightly mineral impression. The palate is fresh and clean, with lively acidity balancing the rounded fruit and moderate body. Fine texture gives the wine a smooth, polished feel, while the finish is crisp, gently savoury, and pleasantly persistent, inviting another sip without heaviness.

Serve Tenuta Carretta Piemonte Chardonnay well chilled at 8-10 C (46-50 F). It pairs naturally with seafood salads, grilled prawns, sushi, fresh cheeses, vegetable antipasti, and light pasta dishes, while its freshness also suits roast chicken and delicate fish. Enjoy it as a welcoming aperitif, with a relaxed midday meal, or whenever a bright, elegant white is called for.
