This Chardonnay opens with expressive notes of gardenia, beeswax, and chamomile, evolving into golden rod and subtle marzipan on the palate. A backbone of racy acidity highlights its minerality, providing lift and balance. The mouthfeel is textured yet precise, leading into a long, lingering finish that speaks to both the vineyard site and careful cellar work.
Winemaker's Background:
Founded in 2018 by Ron and Nancy Piazza, Piazza Family Wines grew from the couple’s long-standing love of Santa Barbara County. Rooted at Bella Vista Vineyard in Ballard Canyon, the winery focuses on sustainable farming and minimal-intervention winemaking. Winemaker Gretchen Voelcker, who works closely with Vineyard Manager Ruben Solorzano, brings extensive experience from California, New Zealand, and beyond, shaping wines that honor organic fruit and natural character. The Piazzas’ vision is not only to create expressive wines but also to build a legacy for their family and community, rooted in stewardship of the land and shared meals around the table.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve chilled at 50–55 °F to best highlight its aromatics and structure. This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roast chicken, glazed duck breast, and creamy seafood dishes, as well as with soft cheeses and seasonal vegetables. It shines alongside both elegant dinner pairings and casual gatherings with friends.
The 2022 Piazza Family Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills offers a graceful balance of richness and vibrancy, capturing the soul of its vineyard while honoring the Piazza family’s passion for thoughtful, natural winemaking.
