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: salmon pink color with copper to crimson reflexes, intense and complex scents: peel of Pinot Nero grapes mixed with bread crust scents, strong accents of ripened fruits, quince fruits, and red berries. It's an enjoyably structured, tasty and soft wine, in perfect harmony with a proper balance of acidity and an important and persistent aftertaste.

Parings: it is a premium aperitif wine. It pairs perfectly with any dish of fish (in particular with salmon and seabass); because of its salty and structured taste, it wonderfully pairs also with grilled meat. It is also suggested to taste it with the traditional hazelnut cake and with marrons glacés.

Serving temperature: 6°C
