Alta Langa DOCG Pas Dosé Espressione Noir 2018 Cocchi

Espressione Noir by Cocchi is an elegant interpretation of Alta Langa Pas Dosé, made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes. This sparkling wine stands out for its purity and authenticity, free from reserve wines and with a long aging on the lees. Its essence encapsulates the character of the high lands of Langa, best expressing the concentration and balanced acidity of the selected grapes.

The winemaking process involves manual harvesting of the grapes and a soft pressing with a yield of 50%. To maintain the balance of acids, malolactic fermentation is not carried out. Secondary fermentation takes place in spring, followed by aging on the lees for five years. After disgorgement, the wine rests further for at least ten months before being marketed, without the addition of sugars or liqueur.

It appears with a light golden color, with greenish reflections and very fine bubbles. The bouquet is refined and complex, with notes of fresh hazelnut, walnut husk, citrus, and white-fleshed fruit, enriched by a persistent salty background. On the palate, it is characterized by its savoriness and freshness, with a long and defined finish that recalls the hazelnuts of Langa and candied white fruits.

This sparkling wine pairs perfectly with raw seafood, oysters, and refined fish dishes, enhancing their flavors with its elegant structure and complex aromatic profile.
