D.O.C. "Alta Langa"

Zona di ProduzioneThis appellation is reserved for spumante, white, red or rosé wines obtained exclusively from a second bottle fermentation.
It is produced in the provinces of Alessandria, Asti and Cuneo grapes from vineyards belonging to the same winery in the following composition:
from 90 to 100% Pinot noir and/or Chardonnay.
The D.O.C. wine "Alta Langa" is the result of 10 years of active research in Piedmont with the aim of addressing a gap in the market, which up till now did not admit the big spumante producers in Piedmont onto the market for D.O.C. ‘metodo classico’ spumante wines.
An excellent aperitif, this is also a great accompaniment to fish and white meats, starters and light pasta and rice dishes.

 
Common characteristics:
