Fontanafredda Alta Langa Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut 2021

An Alta Langa sparkling wine from Fontanafredda, from the 2021 vintage, in Extra Brut style. The grapes are grown between 400 and 600 metres above sea level, an altitude that slows ripening. The wine rests on its lees for three years, and is rich and complex on both nose and palate. Straw yellow with greenish reflections and a fine, persistent mousse, it has an intense nose of honey, toasted dried fruit, spice, yeast and bread crust. The palate is structured yet fragrant, ending in a long, fresh and savoury finish. It suits an aperitif, or gratinated scallops.
