Description
What type of wine it is
The Alta Langa Brut Rosé Giovanni Galliano from Borgo Maragliano is an elegant rosé wine, a pure and refined expression of Pinot Nero. Produced in the prestigious Alta Langa DOCG appellation, this wine stands out for its fresh and accessible style, with a delicate bouquet of wild strawberries, redcurrants, pomegranate and white bread. On the palate, it offers a soft and fruity mouthful, balanced by a lively freshness and a firm structure. Aged according to the Traditional Method, it is perfect for accompanying elegant starters, fish-based dishes and fine cheeses, offering a long and savoury finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the Crevoglio vineyards, located in the municipality of Loazzolo, in the province of Asti, in the heart of Alta Langa. The soils consist of 60% tuff, 38% sandstone and 2% calcium, giving the wine remarkable structural finesse and a clean taste. The altitude of 410 metres above sea level and the eastern exposure contribute to an ideal microclimate for cultivating the vines, which are between 35 and 65 years old. The rigorous eco-compatible viticulture of the Borgo Maragliano estate enhances the authentic identity of this Piedmontese region.
How it is produced
The production process of Borgo Maragliano Alta Langa Rosé begins with a short cold maceration of 5-8 hours, essential for extracting the delicate rosé colour, followed by soft pressing. The first fermentation and maturation take place in stainless steel tanks for about eight months. Subsequently, the base is bottled for the secondary fermentation according to the Traditional Method, undergoing long ageing on the lees for 32-36 months. This prolonged rest in the bottle enriches the structure and aromatic complexity of the wine, culminating in the final disgorging.
History and curiosities
The result of Giovanni Galliano's invaluable experience, this sparkling wine expresses Borgo Maragliano's commitment to rigorous eco-compatible viticulture in the heart of the Piedmontese territory of Loazzolo. The cuvée is born from historic mature vines boasting an age of between 35 and 65 years, whose roots delve into tufaceous soils enriched with calcium. As a testament to its great value and constant dedication to production excellence, this prestigious label has achieved significant international recognition, receiving 91 points from James Suckling.

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.
