Why shop with us?
Cocchi Alta Langa Espressione Noir Pas Dosé 2018 is a striking Brut Nature sparkling wine made entirely from Pinot Noir, showcasing the purity and precision of Piedmont’s Alta Langa. After 60 months of cellar aging, it reveals the depth, structure, and elegance that only a long-matured, zero-dosage cuvée can deliver.
Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass with a fine, persistent mousse, this wine immediately suggests finesse and class. The nose is fresh and layered, with notes of red berries, citrus peel, brioche, and subtle mineral undertones, all framed by a clean, crystalline profile.
On the palate, it is taut and refined, with Pinot Noir lending shape, texture, and a discreet vinous character. The absence of dosage keeps the finish sharp and energetic, highlighting the wine’s natural acidity, length, and tension. It is built for graceful evolution and should continue to develop complexity with further bottle age.
Production
Made in Piedmont’s Alta Langa, this cuvée comes from Pinot Noir grapes selected from a standout 2018 vintage marked by impressive concentration and acidity. Those conditions made the fruit especially well suited to extended maturation, allowing the wine to build complexity during its 60 months on the lees before disgorgement. The Pas Dosé style leaves the wine untouched by dosage, preserving the exact expression of the base wine and the character of the terroir.
Food & Serving
Ideal with oysters, sashimi, seafood crudo, roast poultry, or delicate risottos, this sparkling wine also shines alongside aged hard cheeses and refined antipasti. Serve well chilled at around 8–10°C, and decanting is not recommended.
Producer
Cocchi Giulio is a historic Piedmontese producer known for its tradition, craftsmanship, and deep connection to the region’s sparkling wine heritage. Through Alta Langa and other classic styles, the house has earned a strong reputation for precision and elegance, particularly in wines that highlight local identity and long lees aging.
