ALTA LANGA DOCG SPUMANTE BRUT TRADITIONAL METHOD

For Alessandro, the Alta Langa region has always been associated with La Malora, Fenoglio's tales, and the work of those who have always lived over 600 metres above sea level and who, with dedication and commitment, have devoted their entire lives to caring for hazelnut orchards. Today, these people cultivate Chardonnay and Pinot vines on their land. As he does not own vineyards in Alta Langa, Alessandro dedicates this wine to those who supply him with the grapes to produce it: "It's good to buy from these people who have finally received recognition."

Tasting notes: straw-yellow in colour, the aroma is intense and reminiscent of typical Chardonnay notes combined with a pleasant hint of bread crust. The taste is fresh, dry, delicately acidic, tempered by a remarkable smoothness.

Food pairing suggestion: Alta Langa is an indispensable accompaniment to oysters. You can also serve it as an aperitif or to celebrate special occasions.
