MARIN FALCONE
METODO CLASSICO
IN THE LAND OF REDS, WE CRAFT
WHITE AND SPARKLING WINES
Our goal is to showcase the unique face of the Langhe: an extraordinary land for classic method and white wines.
At 650m above sea level we produce the Traditional Method Sparkling Wine, with long refinement in the bottle.
Unconventional: every year we create a unique blend, choosing from our best reserve wines aged in barriques.
It's a game of balance, memory and intuition.
The Langhe are known worldwide for their Barolo and Barbaresco wines, but following the hills and climbing in altitude you reach the Alta Langa where the ideal climatic conditions are found for the production of classic method sparkling wines , with the same extraordinary terroir and geological composition as the Langhe.
The vineyard is in the mountain municipality of Cissone, at 650m altitude,
in the heart of the Alta Langa, 20 minutes from Barolo.
Historically considered the vineyard that produced some of the most fragrant grapes in the Alta Langa, it is the perfect terrain for Chardonnay.
The consistently sunny exposure and mountain climate allow us to get the most out of this extraordinary grape.
The yield is low: 1-1.5kg per plant, resulting in a concentrated grape rich in aromas.
The pressing is very soft, to extract only the flower
Only long refinements of at least 40 months on the yeasts
Very low dosages of maximum 3g/L
Do you want to live the tasting experience?
With a visit to the Alba winery, you'll learn the secrets of producing Metodo Classico at a small artisanal winery (6,000 bottles) and discover our unique approach to the area!
You'll understand how wine evolves over time and why, with the right amount of waiting—for us, at least four years after the harvest— extraordinary results can be achieved.
