Fontanafredda's Alta Langa Limited Edition is a sublime expression of the Langhe hills, where winemaking mastery meets tradition and sustainable innovation. This DOCG sparkling wine, the result of the passion of a small group of producers who have aimed to create excellent bubbles since 1990, stands out for its blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, grown at altitudes exceeding 250 meters above sea level, ensuring freshness and a distinctive aromatic bouquet. The winemaking process begins with the manual harvesting of grapes in crates of about 20 kg, followed by gentle pressing. The obtained must is then transferred to thermo-conditioned tanks for static settling, and then fermented at low temperatures (18-20°C) in stainless steel. After fermentation, the wine rests on fine lees for several months, during which the cuvée is created by blending selected wines from different vineyards. In spring, the second fermentation in the bottle takes place, followed by a period of aging on the lees for at least 30 months, in dark and protected environments, respecting the strict rules of Alta Langa production. This wine presents itself with a straw yellow color embellished with green reflections. On the nose, notes of honey, white peach, grapefruit, and basil stand out, while on the palate, it offers refined sapidity, with persistent bubbles and a sweet and prolonged finish. The wine's aromatic complexity and freshness are the result of a skillful blend of vineyards, located at an average altitude of 500 meters above sea level, and a minimum aging period of 30 months that enhances its elegance. Perfect as an aperitif, this wine also represents an excellent accompaniment to the entire meal, thanks to its distinctive personality and gastronomic versatility. With its history, connection to the territory, and sustainable approach to viticulture, Fontanafredda's Alta Langa Limited Edition is a true emblem of high-quality Piedmontese bubbles, offering a unique and exciting tasting experience.

The Fontanafredda winery, founded in 1858 by Vittorio Emanuele II, first King of Italy, for his beloved Rosa Vercellana, has become an icon of Barolo and a model of sustainability and innovation in the Langhe region of Piedmont. Fontanafredda is not just a winery; it is a living legend of Barolo, born from the love between a king and his rose in the pulsating heart of the Piedmontese Langhe. Today, it is a symbol of the Langhe and Italy. With over 120 hectares of organic vineyards, this estate represents a hidden treasure among the hills of Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo, and beyond, where time seems to stand still and nature triumphs in all its splendor. Respect for the land and an ecological approach are central to Fontanafredda's philosophy, which has been practicing organic agriculture since 2015, certified in 2018.
