Classic Method Riserva
Alta Langa Riserva
Alta Langa Riserva is an exceptional sparkling wine from Piedmont, crafted from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes grown at high altitudes. To earn the "Riserva" designation, the wine must undergo an extensive aging process on the lees, lasting at least 36 months. The result is an extraordinarily complex wine, characterized by fine bubbles and intense notes of bread crust and dried fruit
