F.lli Gancia & C. S.P.A. - Corso Libertà, 66 - Canelli (AT)
One of the most elegant rosé sparkling wines is produced in the Langhe, a region that was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. We are talking about Alta Langa DOCG 36 mesi Rosé by Fratelli Gancia. The result of a perfect combination of a unique territory, top quality vines and a production tradition that has its roots in 1850. Alta Langa DOCG is a designation of excellence for classic method sparkling wines produced in Piedmont. The regulations require a minimum refinement of 30 months on the yeasts, but for this Rosé Gancia it exceeds this threshold, reaching 36 months of maturation. 100% Pinot Noir grapes, these are harvested by hand and subjected to a soft pressing using the Marmonnier press, a traditional method that preserves the integrity of the skins and aromas. Some of the grapes are left in contact with the skins to give the wine its characteristic pale colour with intense reflections. Only the heart of the must is vinified, partly in barriques and partly in steel tanks. This is followed by the sparkling process in the bottle, and then ageing on the lees for 36 months at a controlled temperature. The bouquet is reminiscent of small red fruits, such as raspberry and pomegranate, well integrated with notes of yeast and bread crust. In the mouth it is crisp and structured, with a finish that recalls red fruits and a pleasant note of bitter almond. A Brut perfect for those seeking freshness and harmony. Perfect with seafood appetisers, raw fish, delicate risottos and aged cheeses. It also makes a great wine for sipping on special occasions.
Since 1850, Cantine Gancia has been a leader in the Italian wine industry, with a history that is intertwined with that of Italian sparkling wine. Founded by Carlo Gancia, a Piedmontese visionary, the company has been able to combine tradition and innovation, becoming a global point of reference for lovers of wine and quality aperitifs. After studying in Reims, France, Carlo Gancia returned to Italy with the ambitious goal of creating a sparkling wine that could compete with the best French champagnes. And so, in 1865, after years of experimentation, the first Italian Classic Method Sparkling Wine was born, made with Moscato grapes, a native variety of Piedmont. This wine, called Moscato Champagne, marked the beginning of a revolution in the world of Italian sparkling wine, laying the foundations for what would become one of the most innovative companies in the sector. But Gancia's innovation didn't stop there. At the end of the 19th century, the company launched the first Vermouth, a unique product made without the addition of caramel, based on an infusion of aromatic herbs and a Moscato base. This Vermouth, which won an award at the International Fair in Chicago in 1893, became a model for all subsequent producers, further consolidating Gancia's role as a pioneer in the sector. Today, Cantine Gancia is a global brand, present in over 70 countries with a range of products that includes Metodo Classico and Charmat sparkling wines, aperitifs, vermouth, bitters and gin. With a production capacity of over 40 million bottles a year and marvellous historic cellars, the company combines industrial production with artisan attention to detail, guaranteeing quality and authenticity at every stage of the process.
