A Langhe DOC Chardonnay named Colibrì (Italian for hummingbird), reflecting the wine's lightness and freshness. Grown alongside Cascina Carrà's red varieties in Monforte d'Alba, it offers a fresh, aromatic expression of Chardonnay from a region far better known for its reds — a distinctive white from a traditionally red-focused estate.
Colibrì proves this Barolo-country estate can handle white grapes too — light on its feet, true to its hummingbird name.

- What does Colibrì taste like?

- Is it unusual for a Piedmont producer to make Chardonnay?
- Yes — Cascina Carrà is primarily known for Dolcetto, Barbera, and Nebbiolo, so Colibrì is a small side project showcasing the estate's range.
