## Summary

Vintage-dated Alta Langa DOCG metodo classico from Chardonnay and Pinot Nero grown in San Marzano Oliveto, first produced in 2015 and aged at least 30 months on the lees.

## Tasting notes

Straw yellow colour with a fine, persistent bead. Complex on the nose, with aromas of renetta apple, white-fleshed fruit, yeast and bread crust. Dry, well-balanced palate with real structure and notable length, with a note recalling leavened bread.

## Food pairings

Good as an aperitif or through the whole meal: starters, fish dishes, fried food and truffle dishes.
