Description
Vigna Gatinera is an Alta Langa made entirely from Pinot Nero grown in Diano d’Alba on white clay interspersed with calcareous sand. Following gentle pressing, part of the must ferments in stainless steel and part in barriques; the components are blended before the second fermentation in bottle. The Riserva spends seventy-two months on its lees and is released without dosage. Peach and pear combine with toasted nuts and fresh bread. Fine bubbles accompany a substantial structure balanced by freshness, leading to a persistent finish with savoury and spicy nuances.
