Bettalunga Piaggione Chardonnay 2022

Bettalunga Piaggione Chardonnay 2022 is a polished, terroir-driven white wine from Umbria that balances ripe fruit, freshness, and a subtle layer of complexity. Made from 100% Chardonnay and crafted with a measured use of oak, it offers both immediate appeal and the structure to gain nuance with a little time in bottle. Its style reflects the cool-height vineyards and the character of a region long appreciated for wines with precision and personality.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a clear straw-yellow color with golden reflections. The bouquet is expressive yet refined, with aromas of ripe pear, yellow apple, citrus, white flowers, and a gentle hint of vanilla and toasted nuts. The palate is medium to full-bodied, creamy in texture, and well balanced by integrated acidity and a distinctive mineral edge. Flavors of citrus, butter, and light spice linger on a long, harmonious finish. It can be enjoyed now for its freshness and balance, but it should also develop extra depth and complexity over the next few years if cellared properly.

Production
The vineyards are located in Umbria’s rolling hills, where chalk and clay soils, altitude, and cool nights help preserve natural acidity while allowing the Chardonnay to ripen fully. The 2022 vintage was warm, but marked by helpful day-to-night temperature swings that supported concentration without sacrificing freshness. Vinification is carried out with a focus on purity and precision, including temperature-controlled fermentation and partial aging in wood to add structure and depth without overpowering the fruit.

Food & Serving
This Chardonnay works beautifully with roast chicken, grilled or baked fish, creamy pasta dishes, risotto, and refined vegetable plates such as asparagus or mushroom dishes. Serve it slightly chilled at 10–12 °C to highlight its freshness and aromatic detail. Decanting is not necessary, though a short aeration in the glass can help it open up if enjoyed young.

Producer
Bettalunga is a respected Umbrian producer known for wines that express their origin with clarity and balance. Their approach combines respect for the raw material with careful cellar work, aiming for wines that feel authentic, elegant, and site-specific. While the information available here is limited, Chardonnay Piaggione 2022 shows a house style focused on precision, texture, and a strong sense of place.
