Sparkling
Nuova Luce
By Cascina Ciuché, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
The newest wine in the range: a traditional-method Alta Langa Brut aged 30 months on the lees, the estate's top sparkling wine.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow of varying intensity. Classic aromas of bread crust and ripe fruit. Harmonious and velvety on the palate.
