Alta Langa Metodo Classico Pas Dose Millesimato, Contratto [MWO] 2021 skus_4007740 What sets this wine apart

What sets this wine apart is the remarkably persistent finish

where it remained on the lees in stainless steel tanks for 5 months prior to bottling

The wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered without added sulfur

With a perfect balance of fruit

Paler ruby than some earlier vintages due to the extreme proportion of Grenache
