Descrizione

The Spumante Alta Langa DOCG Blanc De Blancs Brut Francesco Galliano, produced by Borgo Maragliano, is born in the heart of Alta Langa, an area renowned for its limestone hills and the ideal climate for excellent viticulture. This sparkling wine is obtained exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, a variety that expresses here notes of freshness and unique refinement.

The classic method, with a long aging on the lees in the bottle, gives complexity and a very fine perlage, while the dry and savory character emphasizes its elegance. On the nose, scents of green apple, citrus, and a delicate note of bread crust emerge, while on the palate it reveals itself harmonious, lively, and of great persistence. Ideal to pair with seafood appetizers, shellfish, and light preparations, this sparkling wine embodies the sought-after harmony between territory, grape variety, and tradition.

Winery history

Based in the hamlet of Loazzolo, the estate has been linked to the Galliano family, with archival documents cited on the winery's website dating back to 1790 and with land acquisitions in the first half of the 19th century. In the 20th century the family developed Moscato winemaking and, from the 1980s, began experimenting with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to produce sparkling wines using the Traditional Method.

Production philosophy

Production focused on expressing the terroir and on controlled experimentation: meticulous vineyard care, low, selective yields and extended bottle aging to enhance elegance and longevity, with a strong multi‑generational family commitment.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are located on a natural terrace of the Langhe di Loazzolo, at elevations ranging from about 410 to 580 metres above sea level. The site is influenced by the Marin wind and features tuffaceous, sandy and calcareous soils, conditions considered favourable to Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Riesling.

Awards and recognitions

Numerous national and international recognitions received by the winery, including mentions and scores in James Suckling, Bibenda, Falstaff, IWSC, Gambero Rosso and citations in guides such as Vitae and Slow Wine.
