HARVEST TIME:
From the mid to the end of august. It’s critical to identify, according
to appropriate ripening indices, the proper day to start harvesting grapes in order
to get a balanced product, with the appropriate rate of acidity, strength and body.
HARVEST:
Manual, in pierced crates, with grapes selected in the vineyard.
SPARKLING WINEMAKING PROCESSES:
Grapes are collected and transported
to the cellar in crates. Subsequently they undergo a brief maceration and then
are gently pressed according to careful manual programs. The savvy usage of
biotechnologies and cold allows a slow alcoholic fermentation with a controlled
temperature of 13°C in stainless steel tanks. 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.
PRODUCED BOTTLES:
Approximately 4˙000 of 0,75 L and 200 magnums of 1,5 L
CHARACTERISTICS:
The wine exhibits a salmon pink color with copper to crimson
reflexes. The nose offers intense and complex scents, featuring the peel of Pinot
Nero grapes blended with bread crust aromas, and strong accents of ripened
fruits, quince fruits, and red berries. On the palate, it is an enjoyably structured,
tasty, and soft wine, in perfect harmony with a proper balance of acidity, and an
important and persistent aftertaste.
FOOD PAIRINGS:
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 andwith marrons glacés.
