Gabriele Scaglione MC 36 Alta Langa DOCG

One of the wine world's best kept secret: Motodo Classico (clasic method) Piedmont sparkling wine. Made the same way as Champagne, it also utilises Chardonnay and Pinot Nero (Noir). These are vinified sperately and the Nero comes up in barrique for extra complexity. 36 months on lees before release - this beats Champagne out the gate. STSWine

Delicate aromas of yellow Spring wildflower, white stone fruit and pastry dough float out of the glass. Creamy & delicious, the bright palate doles out ripe white peach, yellow apple, bread crust and baking spice alongside a silky mousse. 92 POINTS, WINE ENTHUSIAST
