The optimal sun exposure ensures balanced ripening of the bunches. The vines take root in a terroir composed of \u003cstrong\u003ewhite clays\u003c\/strong\u003e and layers of \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous sands\u003c\/strong\u003e. This soil composition gives the wine a distinct mineral character, enhancing its \u003cstrong\u003enatural savouriness\u003c\/strong\u003e and promoting the development of highly precise aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduction begins with manual harvesting between late August and early September. After gentle pressing, the must ferments at a \u003cstrong\u003elow temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e in stainless steel tanks. The wine rests on fine lees until spring, when the blend is created.

This prolonged maturation enriches the \u003cstrong\u003earomatic complexity\u003c\/strong\u003e and defines the wine’s flavour profile.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 vintage of this \u003cstrong\u003eAlta Langa DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e limited edition celebrates Fontanafredda's longstanding passion for Piedmontese sparkling wines.
