## Summary

Enrico Serafino has vinified by individual parcel since the Alta Langa DOCG began, and Parcellaire is a selection of the parcels the estate feels best express the denomination's characteristic edge, with a low dosage and no distillate.

## Tasting notes

Straw yellow with golden reflections and a fine, persistent perlage, a complex, attractive, pleasantly incisive nose of flowers, white-fleshed fruit, bread crust and minerals, and a complex, vertical palate with citrus notes, vibrancy, elegance and a long finish, its typical Alta Langa edge tamed by the parcel blend.

## Food pairings

An aperitif spumante above all, also enjoyed throughout a meal.
