Cesare Pavese Alta Langa Brut

By Cooperativa Vallebelbo, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy

Cooperativa Vallebelbo Cesare Pavese Alta Langa Brut

A tribute to the writer Cesare Pavese, who dedicated many enduring works to his home town of Santo Stefano Belbo and its people, this metodo classico comes from high-altitude vineyards and gives a fresh sensory profile for Piemonte's benchmark sparkling wine style.

Tasting notes

Fine, silky mousse, intense straw yellow with light golden hues. The nose shows freshly baked bread, hazelnut and delicate background wisteria. Persistent, creamy and vibrant on the palate.
