Details
Alta Langa fizz is bursting with lemon, grapefruit, green apple, and white peach on a fresh, zesty nose, with gorgeous biscuity brioche notes and a waft of jasmine and honeysuckle. It's dry and precise with lively acidity - all lemon sherbet and citrus zest through to a pithy, satisfying finish.
Collezione '56 takes its name from the year everything started - 1956, when a group of Piedmontese farming families first joined together to form what would become the Vallebelbo cooperative. This is their crowning glory: a small, carefully chosen collection of labels born from years of patient experimentation, each one a celebration of the 160 member families who tend over 500 hectares of vineyards in the heart of the Langhe. These aren't just wines - they're a statement of intent. Crafted with a deep commitment to sustainable farming and the very best of what Piedmonte's terroir has to offer, Collezione '56 sits at the very top of Vallebelbo's qualitative pyramid - from traditional method sparkling wines to barrel-aged whites and serious reds. Every bottle is the synthesis of generations of expertise, passed down through family after family, vintage after vintage.

Pairing guide
Zesty, biscuity, and seriously elegant, Alta Langa fizz calls for food that can match its ambition. Try it with oysters and a squeeze of lemon, smoked salmon blinis, or a light crab linguine with chilli and lemon zest. For a vegan pairing, it's brilliant alongside crispy tempura vegetables with a citrus dipping sauce, or toasted sourdough with avocado and lemon - the brioche notes and zingy acidity make it a natural match for anything fresh and a little indulgent. It also works beautifully as a standalone aperitivo, no food required.

Wine region

Piedmont, Italy
The Piedmont wine region in Italy is a magical place known for producing world-class wines. The region is bordered by the Alps to the north and the Apennine Mountains to the south, and it is characterized by rolling hills and a diverse landscape. The climate in Piedmont is generally cool and wet, with warm, dry summers and cold, snowy winters. This climate is well-suited to grape growing offering slow and steady ripening conditions which lead to high-quality and expressive wines. Piedmont is most praised for its red wines, particularly Barolo and Barbaresco, which are made from the Nebbiolo grape. Barbera and Dolcetto are other celebrated reds of the region, and as for its white wines, Arneis, Moscato d'Asti and the rare Nascetta. Piedmont is also famous for its flavorful truffles, often used in local dishes, and pair beautiful with its regional wines.
