Description
Alta Langa DOCG Extra Brut Classic Method Sparkling Wine, 12.5% ABV, produced by Banfi. Blend: 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 2020 vintage. An Alta Langa that expresses the excellence of the Piedmont terroir, with a fine and persistent perlage. Fermented in bottle for at least 40 months on the lees. Intense and fragrant aroma, with hints of yeast and vanilla. Straw yellow in color. On the palate, it is well-structured, full-bodied, slightly acidic, harmonious, and flavorful with a bitterish finish. Ideal as an aperitif, perfect with oysters and other raw or cooked seafood, it pairs pleasantly with appetizers and fish-based first courses.
