Montalbera Alta Langa Pas Dosé 2022 is a refined Piedmont sparkling wine made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, offering a dry, elegant style with a distinctly mountain-fresh character. Crafted in the prestigious Alta Langa area, it reflects both the finesse of traditional-method sparkling winemaking and the growing reputation of Piedmont beyond its famous still wines.
Tasting Notes
Pale straw in the glass with a fine, persistent mousse, it opens with delicate aromas of citrus peel, white flowers, green apple, and subtle brioche. On the palate it is crisp and linear, with lively acidity, chalky texture, and a clean, mineral-driven finish that stays precise and dry thanks to the pas dosé style. This is a sparkling wine built more for elegance and detail than sheer richness, and it should gain added complexity over the next few years if properly stored.
Production
Produced in Piedmont’s Alta Langa zone, where higher-altitude vineyards and cooler conditions help preserve acidity and aromatic freshness, this wine benefits from the region’s ideal environment for classic-method sparkling wine. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are typically harvested by hand at full but balanced ripeness, then vinified separately before undergoing secondary fermentation in bottle, with no dosage added at disgorgement to preserve the wine’s pure, unadorned style.
Food & Serving
Best served well chilled at around 8–10°C, this wine pairs beautifully with oysters, sashimi, tempura, light seafood dishes, and delicate starters such as fresh goat cheese or vegetable risotto. No decanting is needed; instead, open shortly before serving to enjoy its lively mousse and crisp expression at its best.
Producer
Montalbera is a respected Piedmont producer with a strong reputation for quality-driven wines that highlight the character of the region. While the estate is well known for its work with indigenous varieties, it has also earned attention for producing polished, terroir-focused sparkling wines from Alta Langa, helping showcase the area’s potential for premium traditional-method wines.
