Alta Langa DOCG Millesimato Marcalberto 2017 Magnum

The Alta Langa of Marcalberto winery is made with Pinot Nero and Chardonnay grapes harvested in the villages of Santo Stefano Belbo and Calosso. After the fermentation, it ages for 7 months in wood and after that, 48 months on its lees in the bottle. At the sight it shows a splendid amber yellow colour with persistent bubbles. In the nose the bouquet is complex and harmonious, with hints of brioche and freshly baked bread. In the mouth it reveals its full-bodied and enveloping nature. Endowed with an excellent structure, it is exceptional if drunk in combination with seafood appetizers and chicken or rabbit meat.

The Marcalberto winery is a small family-run business set in Santo Stefano Belbo; it was founded by the oenologist Piero Cane and it produces exclusively “Spumanti Metodo Classico”. From 1996 the management passed to the brothers Marco and Alberto who followed with passion each step of wine-making, taking at best advantage of the six hectares of Pinot Nero and Chardonnay that give life to some of the best sparkling wines in the area.The winery, created in a historic house of the 19^th century built with stone and tuff, produces over 30,000 bottles a year of “Spumanti Metodo Classico”.
