FONTANAFREDDA ALTA LANGA

Alta Langa DOCG is Piedmont’s brut sparkling wine made in the traditional method. It is the first traditional method wine made in Italy, first produced during the mid-19th Century. Made with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, they are farmed from the highest hilltops of the Langhe. Produced in a white or rosé color, in a brut or pas dosé style and aged on the lees for at least 30 months. Alta Langa is always a vintage wine. Fontanafredda’s Limited Edition bottling is sourced from south and southeast-facing vineyards 250-500m asl. Soils are composed of white clay, alternated with layers of sand and limey marl. Guyot-trained vines are planted at a density of 5,000 plants/ha. Grapes are harvested at the end of August and early September and carted in 20kg crates where they are immediately brought to the press.
