Alta Langa 2020 by Cascina Chicco is a traditional method sparkling wine that embodies the sophistication and excellence of Piemonte's sparkling wines. Made from carefully selected Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes grown on the rolling hills of Alta Langa, this wine stands out for its elegance and complexity.
The grapes are meticulously hand-harvested into small crates to preserve their quality. They are then gently pressed to extract the finest free-run juice, which ferments at a controlled temperature. The base wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle using the traditional method, followed by a maturation period on the lees for at least 36 months. This extended aging lends the wine a balanced structure and a rich aromatic profile.
