Alta Langa DOCG Brut Limited Edition 2018 Fontanafredda

The Alta Langa Limited Edition of Fontanafredda represents the sparkling wine excellence of lower Piedmont, where Pinot Noir and Chardonnay find their most authentic expression. The vineyards extend over the Langa hills, on soils of white clay and limestone sand, facing south-southeast. This privileged position allows for optimal ripening of the grapes, which translates into wines of extraordinary finesse and balance.

The vinification involves manual harvesting in boxes, followed by soft and delicate pressing. The must obtained ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, and is then kept in contact with the fine lees for a few months. The cuvée is the result of a skilful blend of the different selected crus. In spring, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle and matures on the yeasts for at least 30 months in the cellars, according to the rules of Classic Method Sparkling Wine.

It has a straw yellow color with green reflections, expressing intense notes of honey, white pulp peach, grapefruit and basil on the nose. On the palate, the wine is savory, characterized by an enveloping bubble and a sweet and prolonged finish.

Excellent as an aperitif but thanks to its personality, it represents an excellent companion for all courses of a meal, confirming its versatility and ability to enhance any type of dish.
