Alta Langa Extra Brut Rosé

By Abbona, Dogliani, Piemonte, Italy

Abbona Alta Langa Extra Brut Rosé

Rows of Pinot Nero have grown in the estate's vineyards for more than twenty years, giving fruit concentrated enough for this fresh, aromatic Alta Langa rosé.

Tasting notes

Delicate, bright, elegant colour with a fine, persistent perlage; the complexity of Pinot Nero comes through with fruity and floral notes, white rose to the fore, closing with bread crust, yeast and candied fruit. Dry, direct and full on the palate, with elegant freshness, citrus notes and fine bubbles balanced by a mineral, good-acidity finish.
