95 points Kerin O'Keefe: "A blend of Pinot Nero and Chardonnay grown 500-570m above sea level, the elegantly structured 2019 Alta Langa Extra Brut from Ettore Germano opens with heady scents of bread crust, hazelnut and chamomile flower. Dry and delicious, the savory palate delivers ripe yellow apple, creamy white peach and Myer lemon before a tangy saline finish. Crisp acidity and a silky perlage provide the irresistible backdrop. What a gorgeous, world class Metodo Classico. Drink through 2032. (Sep 2023)"
91 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The 2019 Alta Langa Extra Brut pours a pale straw hue, with aromas of fresh citrus blossoms, white peach, and bread dough. Medium-bodied and sprightly, with an energetic mousse and a fully dry palate, it offers notes of green apple, lemon balm, and hay. It is a fresh and lively sparkling to enjoy over the next 5-10 years. Drink: 2023-2033. (May 2023)"
91 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2019 Extra Brut is remarkably airy and fresh, with a whiff of white smoke that gives way to young peach and citrus zest. This is distinctly mineral in style yet with a core of vividly ripe orchard fruits and juicy acidity that maintains fantastic energy. It finishes long and full of zesty tension, leaving the mouth watering as sour lime notes fade. Nicely done. I would drink this stimulating blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Chardonnay any day of the week. (Lot# 14/20) Drink: 2023-2026. (Dec 2023)"
