Descrizione

The Spumante Brut DOCG Millesimato "Ritorno in Alta Langa" by Piazzo Comm. Armando is born in the suggestive territory of Alta Langa, an area renowned in the heart of the Piedmontese Langhe known for its high-altitude vineyards. This sparkling wine is mainly made with the indigenous Chardonnay and Pinot Nero grape varieties, which benefit from the cool microclimate and high altitude, ensuring freshness and structure in the glass.

The production method adopted is the classic traditional method, with a secondary fermentation in the bottle that leads to a fine and persistent foam, a typical characteristic of great sparkling wines. The prolonged aging on the lees gives complexity and delicate notes of bread crust, white flowers, and a touch of white-fleshed fruit. On the palate, it shows excellent acidity balanced by a pleasant savoriness, making it fresh and enveloping.

Perfect to accompany elegant aperitifs, fish dishes, or light cuisine, this sparkling wine best expresses the elegance and refinement of Alta Langa.

Winery history

The Piazzo family began their activity in the hills of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio in the 1960s: the couple Armando Piazzo and Gemma Veglia invested in Nebbiolo vineyards and, beginning with the harvest that produced their first wine in 1979, the estate progressively expanded its range to become a leading name in the Langhe. Management later passed to the next generations, who have preserved the family character while introducing innovative practices in the vineyard and cellar.

Production philosophy

The winery combines an artisanal, family-run approach with respect for the land: vineyard care, attention to the Nebbiolo tradition, and the use of modern techniques to enhance the terroir expression of each cru.

Terroir and vineyards

The vineyards are concentrated in the Langhe and Roero, with plots around Alba and in towns such as Mango, Neviglie, Guarene and Novello. The headquarters are located in the hamlet of San Rocco Seno d’Elvio, in the municipality of Alba.
