Alta Langa Extra Brut

By Abbona, Dogliani, Piemonte, Italy

Abbona Alta Langa Extra Brut

The estate's first Alta Langa, released from the 2014 vintage, made from Pinot Nero and Chardonnay planted more than twenty years ago and concentrated enough for a fresh, aromatic sparkling wine of real persistence.

Tasting notes

Fine, persistent perlage; straw yellow with intense golden hues. Aromas of yellow fruit and flowers, bread crust and yeast from the long bottle re-fermentation; full, rich and creamy on the palate, with good acidity and marked freshness and sapidity.
