Wines of Piedmont

The Fiat Chardonnay bottle can be a great gift idea for car enthusiasts. Wines with an automotive design produced in limited numbers by the eccentric Piedmontese producer Pier Giorgio Scrimaglio. The Scrimaglio family has been in Piedmont since the 17th century and comes from France, where it bore the name Escrimeaux (swordsman).

This wine represents the best production of Meirana. It is obtained from the grapes of old vineyards planted in the years 1953 and 1955. The average yield of the vineyards in the various harvests is from 30 to 40 quintals per hectare. The grapes are harvested in wooden boxes and transferred directly to the presses so that the bunches arrive intact. These, due to their rich structure and acidity, make it possible to obtain a great wine suitable for storage, maintaining its aromas and freshness over the years.
