## Summary

Metodo classico Alta Langa with three years on the lees. Pinot Nero and Chardonnay, 12% vol.

## Tasting notes

Straw yellow with golden reflections and a very fine, long-lasting perlage. Opens with bread crust and flint-like minerality, then ripe yellow fruit, wisteria and lightly toasted hazelnuts. Crisp, savoury, structured and fresh on the palate with barely hinted hardness.

## Food pairings

Gastronomic wine for Piedmontese dishes, particularly white truffle; also second courses, preferably raw meat, tempura, seafood and strongly flavoured vegetables.
