Territory and wine style

This Alta Langa DOCG originates from vineyards located between Sessame, Mango, and Trezzo Tinella, in a hilly area suited for structured and precise sparkling wines. The high altitudes, clay-limestone soils, and manual harvesting contribute to defining a style that is taut, refined, and consistent with the type. The 2016 vintage, described as particularly balanced, favored a complete ripening of the grapes and an ideal base for a wine with a complex texture and good evolutionary potential.

The presence of Chardonnay lends breadth and harmony, while the classic method vinification enhances its precision and balance.
