Alta Langa DOCG Bianco TORELLI
Alta Langa DOCG is the Classic Method sparkling wine of Piedmont. A denomination that has its roots in the mid-nineteenth century in the Cantine di Canelli where the production of sparkling wines began with the method of refermentation in the bottle. The controlled and guaranteed designation of origin "Alta Langa" is exclusively reserved for the production of sparkling wines produced in an area between the provinces of Cuneo, Asti and Alessandria, obtained by refermentation in the bottle, in white or rosé version and exclusively vintage. Our Alta Langa Bianco is made from 70% Pinot Noir grapes and 30% Chardonnay grapes, with a stay on the lees of over 30 months and is marketed in the extra brut version with a residual sugar between 4-5 g/l. The structure of Pinot Noir, the elegance and finesse of Chardonnay and the long aging on the lees are the secret of these complex, refined bubbles rich in surprising freshness.
