ALTA LANGA DOCG EXTRA BRUT JAHRGANG "PARCELLAIRE" 2017 - ENRICO SERAFINO

Denomination: Alta Langha DOCG

Vintage: 2017

Alcohol: 12.5%

Region: Piedmont (Italy)

Format: 0.75 l

Grapes: Pinot Noir 95%, Chardonnay 5%

FERMENTATION PROCESS: The bunches of grapes are selected by hand on a vibrating table and pressed in an inert environment (nitrogen) with a yield of 55% in free-run must. The whole process takes place without the use of augers in order to treat the grapes in the most delicate way possible. The must is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature and stored for 6 months on the lees with bâtonnage.

CLASSIC METHOD: The second fermentation is carried out according to the traditional method of fermentation in the bottle, with prolonged aging on the lees until the wine is completely ripe. The liqueur d'expédition added after disgorgement is prepared following our secret recipe which includes reserve wines and sugar (4.5 g / L). We pride ourselves on avoiding any spirits in our final dosage. Enrico Serafino has applied parcel vinification since the birth of the Alta Langa docg. Parcellaire is obtained from the selection of some parcels that best represent the typically "scratchy" character of the denomination. The dosage, deliberately reduced in sugars, combined with the absence of distillates, eliminates any interference between the wine and its territory of origin.

COLOR: Straw yellow with golden reflections. Delicious sparkling wine with fine and persistent "perlage".

NOSE: Complex, attractive, pleasantly incisive, with hints of flowers, white pulp fruit, bread crust and minerals.

PALATE: Complex, vertical with citrus scents, vibrant and elegant, with a rich structure and a long pleasant aftertaste. Scratchy touch typical of the Alta Langa hills tamed by the parcel assembly.

SERVING TEMPERATURE: 4 - 6 ° C
