## Summary

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.
