| Denomination | Alta Langa DOCG |
|---|---|
| Size | 0,75 l |
| Alcohol content | 12.5% by volume |
| Area | Piedmont (Italy) |
| Grape varieties | 100% Chardonnay |
| Aging | Once this process, which gives rise to the characteristic mousse, is complete, maturation on the lees follows, which lasts approximately 32 months. During this period in the bottle, the wine abandons its herbaceous characteristics and takes on a texture that makes it a very delicate and signature bubble. The 'clarification' and 'disgorgement' operations prepare it for consumption, which takes place about three years after the harvest. |

| Product name | Alta Langa Blanc de Blancs Brut Francesco Galliano 2022 |
| Color | Light straw colour with greenish reflections. |
| Perfume | The bouquet is structured with sensations of fruit, lime, aromatic herbs and honey, with hints of acacia that enhance the nature of the Chardonnay. |
| Taste | Lovely entrance in the mouth that makes it very seductive, long and harmonious. The taste is a major part of this Blanc de Blancs as it expresses the true characteristics of a great grape in a very hostile territory. |
| Pairings | Perfect on its own or as an aperitif accompanied by shellfish, raw fish and fresh cheeses. |
| Region | Piedmont |
| Country | Italy |

With Borgo Maragliano we are in Loazzolo, a small town in the Langa area of Asti and in the Galliano house the routine does not exist, it is always in constant motion, although it is perhaps more appropriate to say, in continuous ferment, because sparkling wines and novelties are never lacking.
New entry in the company is the Federico Galliano Brut Nature, a new classic method sparkling wine produced from Riesling grapes only in 950 specimens; vine much loved by Carlo Galliano with whom he had already great results through the production of a still wine.
With the 2012 vintage, the classic Spumante Giuseppe Galliano Brut becomes Brut Nature, a decision made after years of testing, with a stop on the lees in bottle extended to 48 months. Also the Blanc de Noir Dogma, at the second exit, becomes a Brut Nature, a challenge for the producer to make a sparkling wine without liqueur d'expédition from Pinot Nero, a vine on which Carlo Galliano aims a lot.

| Wine making | The wine obtained from pressing the Chardonnay grapes is bottled in April of the year following the harvest, where, after sugaring and the immediate addition of yeasts from the batch, it undergoes re-fermentation. |
| Aging | Once this process, which gives rise to the characteristic mousse, is complete, maturation on the lees follows, which lasts approximately 32 months. During this period in the bottle, the wine abandons its herbaceous characteristics and takes on a texture that makes it a very delicate and signature bubble. The 'clarification' and 'disgorgement' operations prepare it for consumption, which takes place about three years after the harvest. |
