Alta Langa

About the wine

Alta Langa is a prestigious Piedmontese DOCG dedicated exclusively to high-quality sparkling wines produced via the traditional method (metodo classico). Established in 2011, the denomination represents the culmination of a long-standing regional tradition of sparkling wine production, utilizing the cool, high-altitude hills of the Langhe. The wines are crafted primarily from Pinot Nero and Chardonnay, which thrive in the region's marly, calcareous soils. These grapes are harvested manually and undergo a rigorous aging process, requiring a minimum of 30 months on the lees for the standard bottling and 36 months for the Riserva. The resulting wines are characterized by their fine, persistent perlage, complex aromas of yeast, bread crust, and subtle musk, and a structured, sapid palate. Alta Langa stands as a testament to the region's ability to produce world-class, elegant sparkling wines that balance the intensity of the terroir with the finesse required for long-aged, bottle-fermented cuvées.

Production & aging

The production zone covers a vast, hilly area in southern Piedmont, spanning the provinces of Cuneo, Asti, and Alessandria. The vineyards are situated on the right side of the Tanaro river, exclusively in hilly terrain at altitudes no lower than 250 meters above sea level. The zone encompasses numerous communes known for their marly, calcareous-clay soils, which are ideal for high-quality sparkling wine production.
