It is by no means an ordinary wine. And this is also why we like it so much. The one proposed here by Abbona is an excellent Alta Langa DOCG, Extra Brut, super dry and super gastronomic. In the sense that, as often happens with these quality classic method bubbles, as well as to celebrate happy moments, they can be brought to the table to accompany high level lunches and dinners. But let's proceed in order. This wine comes from grapes harvested in the company's vineyards, with plants over twenty years old. Fruits able to give great complexity and concentration, suitable to produce a high quality sparkling wine, fresh, aromatic and with great persistence. The basic cuvée uses 65% Pinot Noir and the rest Chardonnay. It starts with a soft pressing of the grapes to obtain free-run must, with a yield of about 50%. This is followed by the first alcoholic fermentation and refinement for about 7 months. Then comes the bottling and the draught phase, with the addition of selected yeasts, for a long refinement in the bottle for 48 months. At that point, once the desired complexity has been achieved, we proceed with the dégorgement and the filling of the bottle, without adding liquer but only with the same wine. In the glass it has a beautiful straw yellow colour with intense golden hues and a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, hints of yellow fruits and flowers stand out. Then bread crust and yeasts, due to the long maturation in the bottle. In the mouth it is full, rich, creamy. Good acidity, freshness and flavour.
