Azienda Giribaldi Alta Langa Pas Dosè

Pas dosé metodo classico Alta Langa from Pinot Nero and Chardonnay in Rodello, with long lees ageing.

Tasting notes

Bright gold with fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose an aromatic mix of elegance and power: mineral touches, dried fruit and honey. Deep palate with a creamy texture from the fine perlage and a fresh, savoury balance; a dense, elegant finish with mineral and citrus notes.

Pairs well with

Aperitif, and suited to a whole meal
