The nose is layered and expressive, with notes of citrus peel, green apple, white flowers, toasted brioche, almond, and subtle pastry complexity from extended lees aging.\n\nOn the palate it is taut, linear, and savory, with Pinot Noir lending structure, texture, and quiet red-fruit nuance beneath the bright citrus and mineral drive. The pas dosé style keeps the profile crisp and transparent, while the long maturation adds depth and persistence. It should continue to evolve gracefully over the next several years, gaining further complexity and softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMade in Piedmont’s Alta Langa zone, this wine comes from Vigna Gatinera, a site suited to producing sparkling wines with freshness, concentration, and natural balance. The cool-climate terroir and elevated vineyards help preserve acidity and aromatic detail, while the long lees aging of 72 months builds texture and complexity. As a Blanc de Noirs from Pinot Noir, it is vinified to capture both precision and structure, with no dosage added after disgorgement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBest served well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, this sparkling wine pairs beautifully with oysters, raw seafood, shellfish, sushi, delicately fried dishes, and refined white meats such as veal or chicken.
