Sparkling wine | Piedmont, Italy
The Alta Langa Brut Metodo Classico DOCG by Massimillo is a celebration of Piedmont's sparkling wine tradition. Crafted with meticulous care using the classic method, this wine showcases the elegant interplay of Pinot Nero and Chardonnay grapes. From the heart of the Alta Langa region, known for its high-altitude vineyards, comes a wine with exceptional finesse and complexity.
The wine opens with a delicate bouquet of white flowers, green apple, and a hint of citrus zest. As it evolves in the glass, subtle notes of brioche and toasted almonds emerge, a testament to its extended aging on the lees. On the palate, the wine is crisp and refreshing, with a fine, persistent mousse. The flavors are well-balanced, with a harmonious blend of fruit, acidity, and minerality.
