Alta Langa Extra Brut DOCG Cuvée Aurora 2020 Banfi

The Cuvée Aurora is made by Castello Banfi in Strevi, in Piedmont, inside the Alta Langa DOCG.

It is mainly produced with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, harvested entirely by hand. The cuvée is made up of 90% of the wine obtained and the remaining 10% of the wine of the previous vintage. Fermentation takes place in the bottle following the tradition of the Metodo Classico, with persistence on the lees for at least 40 months. Traditional remuage follows, on pupitres and dégorgement à la glace, and an ideal ageing in bottle.

It has a straw yellow colour with a very fine and persistent perlage. It offers the nose an intense and well-distributed perfume, with hints of yeast and vanilla. On the palate it is well structured with an elegant fullness and good acidity. It ends with a bitter aftertaste.

Ideal for the aperitif moment, it goes perfectly with first courses based on fish and shellfish.
