The story of La Chiara

Loe eesti keeles

Two white wines from Piedmont, two very different styles. La Chiara’s Gavi has green apple and lemon zest, while Timorasso is fuller-bodied, with ripe pear and a subtle nutty note. Taste them side by side to discover how different two whites from the same region can be.

From Gavi to Padise and back

Our partnership with La Chiara became more personal when their representative Dario visited us at Padise Manor. In autumn 2026, we returned the visit and tasted the wines with him in Gavi. Our selection at Padise includes both Cortese from Gavi and Timorasso from Colli Tortonesi.
