Description
History
Tenuta Il Falchetto, located in Santo Stefano Belbo (Piedmont), boasts a long winemaking tradition and a modern interpretation of the Alta Langa DOCG territory. The Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut embodies this philosophy: 100% Chardonnay, extended bottle ageing (minimum 36 months) and careful Classic Method production.
Grape variety
Chardonnay 100%
Vinification
Hand-harvested grapes. Gentle pressing in a controlled environment, fermentation in stainless steel and second fermentation in bottle according to the Classic Method under the Alta Langa regulations. The bottles rest on the lees for at least 36 months before disgorgement.
Alcohol content
Approximately 12.5%
Tasting notes
Bright straw yellow with golden reflections, very fine and persistent perlage. On the nose: bread crust, yeast, white flowers and aromatic herbs. The palate is crisp, enveloping, with excellent balance between acidity and dryness, finishing with a mineral note that invites another sip.
Food pairings
Ideal as an elegant aperitif and equally suited to accompany crustaceans, scallops, oysters, sushi, or grilled fish dishes. Also excellent with refined vegetarian cuisine or fresh to semi-aged cheeses.
