Classic method sparkling wine, Alta Langa DOCG Riserva Special Cuvée, 12.5% ABV, produced by Contratto in Piedmont. Vintage 2015. An Alta Langa that celebrates the history of a winery founded in 1867, a pioneer in the production of sparkling wines in Italy. Blend: 90% Pinot Noir, 10% Chardonnay. Aged for at least 90 months. Fine, creamy, and persistent perlage. Herbaceous and citrusy on the nose, with hints of dried apricots, thyme, and orange blossom. Straw yellow with coppery highlights. On the palate, it is fresh and incredibly complex; the delicate notes of toasted hazelnuts and small pastries are well balanced with its minerality.
