Alta Langa Blanc de Blancs Brut D.O.C.G
Francesco Galliano Blanc de Blancs Brut Alta Langa
Grape variety: Chardonnay 100%
Fermentation : stainless steel tank
Altitude: 410 metres above sea level
Soil: 30% tufaceous rock - 68% sandstone - 2% calcium
Average yield per hectare: 55 hl.
Production: obtained from Chardonnay grapes, bottled in April of the year after harvest and, after dosage and the immediate addition of yeast from the batch, it undergoes second fermentation in the bottle. The wine continues to mature on lees for about 32 months. During this period of storage in the bottle, the wine loses its herbaceous characteristics and acquires everything it takes to become a very delicate and refined sparkling wine. Then “riddling” and “disgorging” operations prepare it for consumption, which takes place from about three years after harvesting.
Tasting notes: A sparkle characterised by very fine chains of bubbles in a pale straw-coloured wine with greenish highlights. The structured bouquet features sensations of fruit, lime, aromatic herbs and honey, with acacia blossom, which bring out the true nature of the Chardonnay grape. The delicious entry makes its very seductive and harmonious as it lingers on the palate. The remarkable flavour of this Blanc de Blancs expresses the true characteristics of a great grape grown in a very hostile terroir.
Pairings: Perfect on its own or as an aperitif accompanied by shellfish, raw fish and fresh cheeses.
Alcohol content : 13,0% vol.
