The “Blanc de Blancs” Alta Langa Extra Brut from the Fontanafredda winery is made with 100% Chardonnay grapes that are meticulously hand-picked in small 20kg boxes and immediately taken to the winery to maintain the fruit's integrity; following the soft pressing of the grapes, the must decants at low temperatures until it is clarified; then the racking follows and subsequently fermentation begins in steel, which continues for about a month at controlled temperature; the wine then matures until the spring following the harvest, when it will be ready for the second fermentation in the bottle: the aging lasts about 36 months.
