BOX E what's cooking over here?

When people say something is brewing, it's usually good news. Especially when it involves three Alta Langa DOCG Metodo Classico wines.

This box brings together three interpretations of Piedmont's great sparkling wines: Cocchi's Chardonnay, the elegance of Monsignore, and the character of Marziano Abbona's Extra Brut. Three bottles to uncork for an aperitif that lingers, an impromptu dinner, or a table full of good things.

Our advice? Chill them, prepare something to eat, and let the glasses do the talking.

1. Alta Langa Brut BIANC 'D BIANC DOCG COCCHI

The finesse of Chardonnay.

Method: Classic

Aging: about 5 years on the lees

A pure Chardonnay that focuses on precision, freshness, and complexity. The nose alternates between citrus, white peach, delicate flowers, and notes of yeast and bread crust. The palate is taut and refined, with great energy and a persistence that invites a second glass.

2. Monsignore Extra Brut 2021

The most enveloping side of Alta Langa.

An Extra Brut that combines freshness and structure. The bouquet recalls apple, ripe white fruit, and flowers, with nuances of pastry and a delicate hint of oak. On the palate, it is creamy and persistent, yet retains a lovely tension: a sparkling wine that isn't limited to the aperitif and is perfectly suited for the table.
