Show Notes
Today’s show is a full immersion into one of Italy’s most exciting sparkling wine regions: Alta Langa, the high-elevation jewel of Piedmont. We’re taking you to the hills where long traditions, cool mountain breezes, and meticulous craftsmanship come together to create some of Italy’s most refined metodo classico wines.
We’ll begin with Paolo Rossino, President of the Alta Langa Consorzio, who will guide us through what makes this region so extraordinary — from its strict production rules to its high-altitude vineyards and the elegance that defines every bottle.
Then we’ll head to Agricola Brandini with Giovanna Bagnasco - one of the rising stars of the region. She’ll share how sustainability, terroir, and a deep respect for tradition shape their beautiful Alta Langa wines.
Finally, we shift from vineyards to forests with Stefano Mosca, Director of the International Alba White Truffle Fair — and one of Alba’s most passionate ambassadors. He’ll take us inside the mysterious world of truffle hunting: how truffles are formed, why they are so rare, and what makes the Alba white truffle the most coveted in the world. And of course, he’ll tell us why Alta Langa and white truffles are a match made in Piedmont heaven!
