WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Alta Langa Sara Vezza 2019 is produced using the traditional method, involving a secondary fermentation in the bottle to create its effervescence. The grapes, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, are cultivated under organic farming practices, with a move towards biodynamics. Following fermentation, the wine undergoes a minimum of 30 months of aging on its lees, a process integral to the Alta Langa DOCG regulations. This extended aging contributes to the wine's complexity and refined texture. The estate also engages in innovative projects, such as a 'vine adoption' program.
