Alta Langa DOCG 'Cuvee Aurora Riserva 100 Mesi' 2012 (Magnum gift box) - Banfi
'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.

Banfi was founded in 1978 thanks to the will of the Italian-American brothers, John and Harry Mariani.
From the beginning, the goal of the two brothers was to create a state-of-the-art winery combined with the most advanced science in the vineyards for the production of premium wines.
Together with the Mariani family, Ezio Rivella, one of Italy's
foremost enologists, who understood that due to the richness of the soils and the privileged microclimatic position, the property would have great capacity of development.
In those years, the brothers, John and Harry, also purchased Bruzzone, a historic winery in Piedmont. Founded in 1860 and specialized in the production of sparkling wines, today is known as Banfi Piemonte.
