## Summary

Brut Millésimé Alta Langa DOCG, the house's signature label, a classic Pinot Noir and Chardonnay cuvée aged at least 48 months on the lees.

## Tasting notes

Very wide aromatic spectrum tending towards candied citrus fruits. The mouthfeel is very rich in matter and volume and sapid, as is typical of Alta Langa, with the same citrus notes on the palate.
