TASTING NOTES
The 2020 harvest began on 17 August in Alta Langa, with the first bunches of Pinot Noir entering the cellar. The different exposures and altitudes of the vineyards allow for a harvest that extends into the month. Although the flowering was early, some two weeks earlier than usual, the harvest was almost in line with the average of other vintages. The cool summer allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, resulting in a healthy and beautiful harvest, balanced between ripeness and acidity. The grapes for this sparkling wine were grown at an altitude of 480 metres above sea level, right in front of Roberto Garbarino's winery, on a marly limestone soil with a high percentage of sand. This Blanc de Noir 2020 comes entirely from a selection of Pinot Noir grapes, produced according to the classic method. The hand-picked bunches are gently pressed to avoid the transfer of colour from the Pinot Noir skins to the must. The base wine is fermented in steel vats at 14°C, followed by bottling and stacking to facilitate the second fermentation, also known as prise de mousse. After a month of re-fermentation at a very low controlled temperature, the wine is aged on the lees for 30-40 months and undergoes remuage before disgorging; what is obtained is a pale golden yellow wine with a fine and persistent perlage. The nose is complex, with notes of rennet apple, dog rose, honey and bread crust. On the palate it is well balanced, fresh and savoury, with a solid structure and good persistence.

Roberto Garbarino Discover the Roberto Garbarino estate in Alta Langa and its fine wines in our online store Roberto Garbarino is a young winemaker graduated at the Turin Univerisy in Agricultural Sciences. After ten years of experience in various wineries in Piemonte region, and expecially in the beautiful Langa, meanwhile he was looking for a house, he found a 19th century farmhouse with 6.5 hectars of vineyard facing south in Neviglie. Since 2013, when the construction of the cellar was completed, he began to produce Metodo Classico Alta Langa DOCG, Extra Brut and Rosé, and Moscato d'Asti Docg.Together with Beatrice, Roberto was able to improve further and in 2022 they purchased another 4 hectares of Alta Langa, increasing the planted  area with vines up to nearly 11 hectares. In the management of the vineyards neither herbicides nor chemical fertilizers are used, moreover the use of pesticides is reduced to the strictly necessary, therefore only in case of unfavorable climatic conditions, making sure that environmental sustainability is at the first place among the company priorities.
