Alta Langa Extra Brut DOCG Cuvée Aurora 2019 Banfi

The Cuvée Aurora is made by the Castello Banfi company in Strevi, Piedmont, within the Alta Langa DOCG.

It is mainly produced with Pinot Noir grapes and Chardonnay grapes, harvested entirely by hand. The cuvée is made up of 90% of the wine obtained and the remaining 10% of the wine of the previous year. Fermentation takes place in the bottle following the tradition of the Classic Method, with a stay on the yeasts for at least 40 months. This is followed by traditional remuage, on pupitres and dégorgement à la glace, and an ideal refinement in the bottle.

It has a straw yellow color with a very fine and persistent perlage. It offers the nose an intense and well-distributed aroma, with hints of yeast and vanilla. On the palate it is well structured with an elegant fullness and good acidity. It ends with a bitter aftertaste.

Ideal for the aperitif moment, it pairs perfectly with first courses based on fish and shellfish.
