Alta Langa DOCG is the appellation that expresses the excellence of Piedmont’s sparkling wine tradition.
Straw yellow in colour with golden highlights, featuring an exceptionally fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet opens with classic notes of freshly baked bread crust, gradually evolving into increasingly refined floral aromas. The finish reveals a distinctive mineral character, with elegant flinty notes reminiscent of struck flint.
An elegant companion to raw meat dishes, tempura, seafood, white truffle and aged cheeses. It also pairs beautifully with flavourful vegetarian and vegan dishes, enhancing their balance and aromatic complexity. Serving temperature 7-8°C. Dosage from 3 to 6 g/L.
The winemaking process begins with the gentle pressing of whole bunches, allowing the different juice fractions to be separated. After cold static settling, fermentation takes place at temperatures of around 15°C. The Cuvée then matures on its fine lees in stainless steel for seven months, without undergoing malolactic fermentation, resulting in a complex and well-structured base wine ready for secondary fermentation in the bottle. Tirage is typically carried out in April, allowing secondary fermentation to begin under naturally favourable temperatures. The wine is aged on the lees for a minimum of 36 months before disgorgement à la glace. A further bottle ageing of at least six months is recommended to fully appreciate its finest expression.
The estate vineyards, covering approximately 6 hectares, are located along the hilly ridge stretching from Strevi to Castino, at elevations of up to 450 metres above sea level. The soils from which the grapes for this Cuvée are sourced are characterised by a blend of grey-white calcareous marls with a high limestone content.
