Cuvée Aurora Alta Langa DOCG

Vinified at Banfi Piemonte estate cellars in Strevi,
this elegant wine is the expression of the Alta Langa project.

GRAPE VARIETIES
Pinot noir (70%) and Chardonnay (30%). All grapes are selected
and hand-picked in hilltop Piedmontese vineyards located
in the provinces of Cuneo, Asti and Alessandria.
PRODUCTION TECHNIQUE
Soft pressing of the grapes is followed
by clarification of the must and by fermentation at controlled temperatures.
10% of the cuvée consists of the previous vintage wine, aged in barrique.
Fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Classical Method.
Yeast contact is extended for at least 30 months followed
by traditional hand riddling (remuage) on pupitres
and dégorgement à la glace.
DESCRIPTION
Color: pale gold colour with tiny and persistent perlage.
Bouquet: intense and fragrant with notes of yeast and vanilla.
Taste: on the palate the wine is well balanced with gentle acidity
and harmonious with a soft hint of bitterness on finish.
WINEMAKER’S NOTES
Alta Langa is a new Piedmontese DOCG appellation.
In each bottle of Cuvée Aurora, the current vintage
is enriched by the addition of 10% of the previous vintage cuvée
aged in oak barrels. The result is very round, rich and long
aging sparkling wine.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Ideal as an aperitif, and perfect for pairing with entrées
and fish dishes. Excellent with oysters and shellfish.
