'Cuvée Aurora Reserve 100 Months' is an expression of the continuous and inexhaustible pursuit of excellence, even in its Piedmontese soul, of the Banfi company which has believed in the Alta Langa project since the early 1990s. An interpretation of the Classic Method of Piedmont "par excellence and excellence". The cuvée is made up of Pinot Nero (85%) and Chardonnay (15%) hand-picked and coming exclusively from vineyards grown in the high hills of Piedmont. Fermentation and aging in bottle on the lees for at least 100 months. Intense aroma and initially characterized by hints of candied citrus peel which then evolve into aromas of brioches, dried fruit and vanilla. Austere and elegant wine, which stands out for its marked sapidity and remarkable persistence.
