Alta Langa Metodo Classico Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut DOCG 2020 - Cantina Ivaldi

The Alta Langa

The “Andrea” Alta Langa Extra Brut by Ivaldi Dario is a classic-method sparkling wine crafted from Chardonnay grapes grown in the picturesque Monferrato hills of Piedmont. After a gentle pressing, the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The second fermentation occurs in the bottle, with the wine aging on the lees for approximately 30 months, resulting in finesse and complexity.

In the glass, it boasts a bright straw-yellow color with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it reveals aromas of fresh butter, fine pastry, and delicate white flowers. The palate is creamy and full, with a subtle effervescence. Its compact and tense structure leads to a zesty, citrusy finish.

Perfectly pairs with creamy pasta dishes, vegetable soufflés, or baked fish. An excellent choice for special occasions or sophisticated meals.
