A traditional-method (metodo classico) sparkling wine, DOCG Alta Langa, blending approximately 85% Chardonnay and 15% Pinot Nero (indicative). Bright straw-yellow with golden reflections, aromas of grapefruit, citrus, stone fruit and white flowers, with a crisp, impactful palate from extended lees aging and secondary fermentation in bottle.
Alta Langa is Piedmont's answer to Champagne's method, and Rizzi's version has the citrus precision to prove the region deserves the comparison.
