Vintage details

The 2021 vintage in Piedmont was characterized by a cold winter and a dry spring that favored a slow and regular ripening of the grapes. The Pinot Noir grapes destined for Alta Langa Brut DOCG 'Luigi Coppo' Magnum 2021 - Coppo were healthy, with an excellent balance between sugars and acidity, an ideal prerequisite for obtaining a fresh and refined sparkling wine.

Winemaking and aging

Production follows the principles of the Metodo Classico. After the first fermentation, the base wine is bottled with selected yeasts for the second fermentation, which takes place directly in the bottle. Resting on the lees continues for at least 18 months, during which time the wine develops aromatic complexity and finesse. After disgorgement, the stage at which the exhausted yeasts are removed, the final dosage is in the Brut style, with a contained residual sugar, to enhance freshness and minerality.
