Here, the variety is interpreted in an Extra Brut style, with a dry, vertical profile that enhances freshness and territorial identity.
Alta Langa DOCG Extra Brut stands out for its clean, contemporary character, where balance and expressive purity guide every sensation.
It is a wine that speaks of precision, restraint, and time, offering an authentic interpretation of the denomination while maintaining character and coherence even after many years of maturation.
Fine and essential, it represents the most rigorous expression of Alta Langa Pinot Nero, where structure, freshness, and typicity coexist in a sober and distinctive harmony.

HARVEST TIME:

From the mid to the end of august. It’s critical to identify, according to appropriate ripening indices, the proper day to start harvesting grapes in order to get a balanced product, with the appropriate rate of acidity, strength and body.

HARVEST:

Manual, in pierced crates, with grapes selected in the vineyard and immediately put into the pneumatic press.

SPARKLING WINEMAKING PROCESSES:

The grapes collected in the crates are, after few hours, gently pressed according to careful manual programs in order to get a fresh juice that, within some hours, settles and becomes clear, separating from solid parts. The savvy usage of biotechnologies and cold allows a slow alcoholic fermentation with a controlled temperature of 13°C in stainless steel tanks. In spring, the resulting wine is put into the bottles where the prise de mousse takes place. Then bottles are staked in appropriate underground galleries where temperature is constantly around 12°C. After at least 30 months of aging in these underground galleries, our ALTA LANGA wine is ready for remuage and degorgement operations.
