Zero140 de saignée Alta Langa DOCG Riserva Pas Dosé Millesimato 2011

Zero140 de saignée by Enrico Serafino 1878 is a Classic Method of rare personality, designed for those seeking a rosé of great finesse, depth, and territorial character. Made from 100% Pinot Noir and offered as Alta Langa DOCG Riserva Pas Dosé, it combines precision, complexity, and a very marked gastronomic note, supported by a long aging on the lees.

Territory and wine style

This wine is born in the areas of Loazzolo, Vesime, and Bubbio, in a Piedmontese context suited for the production of quality sparkling wines. The choice of Pinot Noir and the de saignée method defines a more structured and identity-driven style, capable of expressing a delicate color, aromatic depth, and taste tension. The absence of dosage enhances the purer reading of the territory and makes the sip clear, dry, and consistent with the reserve's setting.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a pale rosé with onion skin hues and a fine, persistent perlage. The nose reveals complex sensations of bread crust, candied fruit, linden honey, and small red fruits, enriched by evolved nuances due to the long aging. On the palate, the wine shows freshness, acidic tension, and a mineral texture with hints of toasted hazelnut. The profile is dry, precise, dynamic, and supported by a long and refined persistence.

Recommended pairings

Zero140 de saignée is excellent as an important aperitif and pairs effectively with high-end seafood dishes. It is ideal with oysters, caviar, raw fish, crustacean tartare, delicate carpaccios, and elegant preparations based on noble fish. Its structure also makes it suitable for more complex courses, as long as they remain subtle and clean in flavors, thus enhancing freshness and depth without overshadowing its finesse.

Serving temperature

The ideal temperature to serve Zero140 de saignée is between 4 and 6 °C, to best appreciate its tension and perlage. If the bottle has been stored for a long time or opened in a tasting context, it may be helpful to wait a few minutes in the glass to fully bring out the aromatic profile.

Why buy it

It is a wine that combines prestige, identity, and versatility. The combination of Alta Langa DOCG, Pinot Noir, very long aging, and pas dosé style makes it a choice of great value for those wishing to purchase an Italian sparkling wine that is different from the usual, capable of standing out at the table and on special occasions. An elegant, evolved, and convincing proposal for those who love authoritative bubbles with a strong connection to the territory.
