A metodo classico sparkling wine from a blend of roughly 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Nero grown on the Langa hills, aged on the lees for more than four years. The long lees aging imparts notes of bread crust to a complex, full bouquet, with a very dry, long, and savory palate carried by a fine, persistent perlage.
Four-plus years on the lees gives this the depth and bready complexity that many entry-level Champagnes can't match at the same price.
