Sparkling
Bianc 'd Bianc
By Cocchi, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
Brut Millésimé Alta Langa DOCG made from pure Chardonnay on white marl-limestone soils, with about five years on the lees. Cocchi says it was the first Alta Langa made only from white grapes.
Tasting notes
Complex aromatic spectrum of white fruits with an apricot hint. In the mouth a long sensation of aromatic notes with a delicate effervescence bringing out fine white chocolate and sweet fruit.

Second fermentation in bottle, about five years in a dark, cool place. Hand riddling on pupitres, ice disgorgement, dosage of 8 g/l.
