Description

The Cuvée Aurora Alta Langa Banfi project took its first steps at the beginning of the 1990s to give the best interpretation of the Piedmontese Classic Method par excellence. The Cuvée Aurora Alta Langa Blanc de Noirs is a niche product in numbered bottles, which represents the result of the company's expertise in vinifying sparkling Pinot Noir. It completes the winery's line of Alta Langa wines so far consisting of the historic Cuvée Aurora Extra Brut, Cuvée Aurora Extra Brut Rosée and Cuvée Aurora 100 Mesi Riserva pas dosé.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1978
  • Oenologist: Matteo Bagnoli
  • Bottles produced: 10.000.000
  • Hectares: 1.089
Founded in 1978 by the vision of Italian-American brothers John and Harry Mariani, Banfi represents a marriage of winemaking passion and technological innovation. Through collaboration with Ezio Rivella, one of Italy's most eminent winemakers, the land purchased in Montalcino was transformed into a crucible of quality and potential. The acquisition of the historic Piedmontese winery Bruzzone subsequently further enriched the portfolio, integrating the sparkling wine tradition of Piedmont into the Banfi world.

Always pioneers, we value research and people, respecting the territories in which we work. For a better wine world. We see a global and connected world, where differences are wealth. The products of our land, to be defended and enhanced, are the best expression of human labor and ingenuity.
