Grape variety: 100% pinot nero

Production area: Santo Stefano Belbo

Sparkling winemaking processes: The grapes collected in the crates are, after few hours, gently pressed according to careful manual programs in order to get a fresh juice that, within some hours, settles and becomes clear, separating from solid parts. The savvy usage of biotechnologies and cold allows a slow alcoholic fermentation with a controlled temperature of 13°C in stainless steel tanks and, for a minimal part, in wood. In spring, the resulting wine is put into the bottles where the prise de mousse takes place. Then bottles are staked in appropriate underground galleries where temperature is constantly around 12°C. 

After years of aging in these underground galleries, our ALTA LANGA wine is ready for remuage and degorgement operations.

Organoleptic proprieties: exceptional perlage of light gold color, intense and complex scents of bread crust with strong accents of dried fruits, honey, almonds and linden flowers. It’s a soft but perfectly harmonious wine, with a proper balance of acidity; its enjoyably salty, bodied and structured.

Parings: Perfect to be enjoyed in every moment of the day, it is a premium aperitif wine. It pairs perfectly with any dish of fish (in particular with salmon and seabass), and it is also exceptional when paired with black squid ink risotto or with a tasty cheese fondue covered of Alba white truffle.

Serving temperature: 6°C
