Alta Langa DOCG Ettore Germano – Piedmontese Metodo Classico

Description

The Alta Langa DOCG Ettore Germano is an elegant and precise Piedmontese Metodo Classico sparkling wine, produced in the high hills of the Langhe by one of the most authoritative wineries in the area. Made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, it represents the most refined expression of the Alta Langa denomination.

The grapes come from vineyards located at high altitudes, on calcareous soils, ideal for imparting freshness, minerality, and aromatic complexity. The long aging on the lees gives structure, fine perlage, and an extraordinary depth of flavor.

Tasting Notes

It presents a brilliant straw yellow color with a fine and persistent perlage.
The nose reveals aromas of citrus, green apple, and white flowers, enriched by elegant notes of bread crust, hazelnut, and mineral nuances.
On the palate, it is fresh, vertical, and harmonious, with a creamy effervescence and a long, clean finish.

Food Pairings

Perfect as a high-class aperitif, it pairs excellently with:

• raw fish and shellfish

• oysters and seafood

• delicate pasta dishes

• gourmet cuisine and refined dishes

Recommended serving temperature: 4–6 °C
