Today, \u003cstrong\u003eTenute Rade\u003c\/strong\u003e boasts 50 hectares of vineyards in Piedmont, and Raimondo's passion is shared by his son Daniele – a family project that can be tasted in every bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAlta Langa DOCG is the Piedmontese appellation for \u003cstrong\u003eMetodo Classico\u003c\/strong\u003e par excellence – high-altitude vineyards, clay soils, and marked temperature variations that give the grapes a freshness and structural acidity difficult to find elsewhere. A terroir designed for fine, long-lived bubbles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir\u003c\/strong\u003e, harvested around mid-August in crates, gently and progressively pressed. The must ferments in \u003cstrong\u003etemperature-controlled stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e, then refines on its fine lees. The following spring, sugars and selected yeasts are added, and it is bottled for the secondary fermentation. So far, tradition. Then comes the difference: the bottles rest in contact with their yeasts for a \u003cstrong\u003eminimum of 33 months\u003c\/strong\u003e – but this 2019 rested for a total of \u003cstrong\u003e67 months on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e, almost six years. After this long rest, traditional \u003cstrong\u003emanual riddling on pupitres\u003c\/strong\u003e clarifies the wine, concentrating the sediment in the neck. Then disgorgement, topping up with the same wine, and recorking. \u003cstrong\u003eZero dosage\u003c\/strong\u003e – no liqueur d'expédition, no correctives: just the wine, in its purest and most honest form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn the glass, it presents a \u003cstrong\u003ebright straw yellow color with golden reflections\u003c\/strong\u003e and a \u003cstrong\u003every fine and persistent perlage\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the nose, it is \u003cstrong\u003ecomplex and layered\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cstrong\u003ewhite flowers, bread crust, ripe citrus fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a subtle note of dried fruit and pastry that speaks of the years spent on the lees. On the palate, it is \u003cstrong\u003edry, taut, and savory\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a vibrant freshness and a structure that supports everything leading to a \u003cstrong\u003elong, mineral, and precise finish\u003c\/strong\u003e.
