Alta Langa DOCG represents the pinnacle of classic method sparkling wines produced in the highest and most pristine hills of Piedmont. This prestigious appellation is dedicated exclusively to elegant bubbles made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes grown at high altitudes, between 400 and 900 meters above sea level.
Alta Langa sparkling wines are renowned for their finesse and aromatic complexity, achieved through a lengthy aging process on lees that exceeds 30 months, as required by DOCG regulations. This meticulous production method guarantees fine and persistent bubbles, balanced structure, and lively freshness, making Alta Langa wines perfect for sophisticated aperitifs as well as pairings with seafood, shellfish, and white meats.
Unlike many other sparkling wine regions, Alta Langa DOCG wines are always vintage-dated, meaning they are produced from grapes harvested in a single year, showcasing the unique characteristics of each harvest and terroir.
The production follows the strict classic method, identical to that used in Champagne: after the first fermentation, the base wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, aging on the lees for an extended period. This process imparts distinctive notes of bread crust, yeast, and a pleasant mineral salinity typical of Alta Langa sparkling wines.
The vineyards span across the provinces of Cuneo, Asti, and Alessandria, with marl and limestone soils that contribute to the mineral backbone and structure of the wines. The steep, sunny slopes ensure optimal ripening of the grapes, essential for producing high-quality Alta Langa DOCG wines.
