Principiano Alta Langa Leonardo 2018

Alta Langa Leonardo Extra Brut is a sparkling wine produced by Ferdinando Principiano in Monforte d’Alba in the Langhe. The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes ferment spontaneously with indigenous yeasts for approximately three weeks, before refermenting in the bottle with the addition of native must, without the addition of sulfur dioxide, clarification or filtration. Creamy, savory and delicate, it rests on the yeasts for 3 years and is ideal for dishes based on white truffles.

Ferdinando Principiano was born and raised among the family vineyards, at just 45 years old he already has over 25 harvests under his belt and enormous experience: as a former modernist of Barolo, he is today one of the most solid for reasoned viticulture in the Langa.

In his eyes we saw the Cavese spirit clearly reflected, the entire range of wines is a succession of shots to the heart: from the bubbles with the SoloUva Method to the Timorasso grown in Alta Langa and then arriving at all the classic reds of the Langhe, treated with equal dignity from Dolcetto to Barolo.
