Alta Langa DOCG Brut 2018 Cuvage

Alta Langa by Cuvage is a Metodo Classico Millesimé sparkling wine produced in Piedmont, from a blend of Pinot Nero and Chardonnay grapes from Monferrato vineyards.

The bunches of grapes are harvested between the end of August and the beginning of September and, once in the cellar, they are first cooled. Subsequently the grapes undergo soft pressing, with a grape-wine yield of 45-50%. The wine ages on its lees first for 7 months in steel then for 36 months in the bottle.

It has a straw yellow colour with golden reflections and a fine and persistent perlage. The nose recalls the aromas of wisteria, yellow peach and ripe plum, currant and flint. The sip is crunchy and savoury, with a good persistence.

Excellent as an aperitif, it goes well with fried fish and vegetables, seafood and savoury pies.
