The subsoil

In the municipality of Dogliani, perched on the Martina hill at the fringes of the Alta Langa, where the vineyards reach elevations of up to 600 meters above sea level, we have discovered a new potential: the Riesling. This wine embodies our quest for the unique aromas and flavors of this terroir, providing a white alternative to the renowned array of Piedmontese reds that define the Chionetti winery.

This exceptional location is perched on the southern slope of a hill characterized by whitish marls interspersed with dense sandstones, locally referred to as the ‘Langa stone.’ These geological formations originate at the juncture of the Lequio Formation, typical of Serralunga d’Alba, and the Murazzano Formation. These soils are meager and shallow, making them susceptible to summer drought. However, in our endeavor, they serve to impart personality and minerality to the wine.
