Wine Advocate: 87 Points
(9/25/2018) "A blend of 80% Pinot Nero and 20% Chardonnay, the 2014 Alta Langa Metodo Classico Brut opens to a faded copper hue that accents the golden luminosity of this Italian classic-method sparkling wine. The wine is steely and sharp in delivery with a streak of sour fruit that is cutting and edgy on the finish. That sharpness is a bit excessive. The Chardonnay component is fermented in oak, and the Pinot Nero is fermented in stainless steel. The wine ages on the lees for 30 months. Some 15,000 bottles were made."
