Description

Discover the elegance of the Langhe hills with the Fontanafredda Alta Langa Metodo Classico Brut. This sparkling wine is a distinguished expression of Piedmontese winemaking, born from the collaboration between dedicated producers in the region who have mastered the art of traditional method sparkling wine since 1990. Hailing from the historic Fontanafredda estate—founded in 1858 by the first King of Italy—this wine reflects a deep respect for the land and a commitment to sustainable, certified organic viticulture. Crafted from a meticulous blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the grapes are sourced from high-altitude vineyards exceeding 250 meters, ensuring a perfect balance of freshness and aromatic complexity. The wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle and is aged on its lees for at least 30 months, a patient process that imparts a sophisticated structure and a fine, persistent perlage. Upon pouring, you are greeted by a straw-yellow hue with green reflections, followed by an inviting bouquet of wildflower honey, white-fleshed peach, grapefruit, and a delicate touch of basil. On the palate, it is enveloping yet incredibly fresh and savoury, offering a refined, long-lasting finish that calls for another sip. This sparkling wine is remarkably versatile. It shines as an elegant aperitif, but its personality makes it a superb companion throughout a meal, especially when paired with fish-based dishes, shellfish, sushi, or even a delicate risotto with robiola and lemon. It bridges the gap between richness and vibrancy, making it an essential addition to any curated wine collection for those who appreciate the heritage and innovation of the Alta Langa DOCG.
