Alta Langa DOCG “Marchese Dalmasso”

Alta Langa DOCG “Marchese Dalmasso” is born on the highest hills of Piedmont, where altitude, bright exposures, and marl-limestone soils create the ideal conditions for a sparkling wine of extraordinary elegance and mineral tension.

From Pinot Noir and Chardonnay slowly matured in a cool, well-ventilated climate, a refined and profound Traditional Method wine takes shape—an authentic expression of a territory now recognised among the great homelands of high-end Italian sparkling wines.

 

Tasting Notes

 

  • Colour: Bright straw yellow, marked by an extremely fine and persistent perlage, a sign of extended ageing on the lees.

  • Aroma: Broad and refined, with aromas of candied citrus, reinette apple, and white flowers, followed by more complex notes of bread crust, clarified butter, almond, toasted hazelnut, and delicate hints of acacia honey.

  • Palate: Taut, deep, and vibrant. The vertical freshness typical of high altitudes integrates with elegant creaminess and a harmonious structure. The effervescence is fine and velvety, guiding the sip toward a long, mineral, finely chiselled finish of great aromatic purity.

 

Food Pairings

 

Perfect for celebrating important moments or as a companion to refined seafood cuisine, this Alta Langa Traditional Method pairs beautifully with oysters, fish carpaccio, shellfish, fresh cheeses, and tartare. It is also ideal with traditional Piedmontese dishes based on vegetables or delicate meats, such as vitello tonnato, fresh tomini cheeses, and Fassona beef tartare. Serve at 6–8 °C to enhance its verticality, finesse, and expression of terroir.
