Cracked crab on the newspaper. A vintage-dated Brut that spent three-plus years on its lees, so chill it well and pour — creamy, almond custard at the finish.

THE STORY

About this wine

85% Pinot Noir, 15% Chardonnay — a dry vintage Brut from Piedmont's Alta Langa DOCG, bottle-fermented and aged on its lees. Fresh, savory and mineral, with yellow flowers, citrus and bread crust, and a long saline finish.

Enrico Serafino's Oudeis is an Alta Langa DOCG Metodo Classico Brut Millesimato, the 2020 vintage of the wine listed as “Alta Langa Brut.” The wine was produced by winemaker Paolo Giacosa. The 2020 growing season is described by the producer as extremely good, yielding balanced wines with intense, elegant aromas.

Worth knowing

The name is the argument. 'Oudeis' is Greek for 'no one' — the idea being that the complexity in the glass belongs to the Alta Langa terroir, not to any individual person. Enrico Serafino has been making traditional-method sparkling wines since the house was founded in 1878.

Blend

  • Pinot Noir 85%

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Enrico Serafino Alta Langa Brut 2020

Tasting

Color: The wine pours straw yellow with golden hues, the bead fine and persistent.
Nose: Delicate for all its complexity. Yellow flowers and white-fleshed fruit lead, citrus peel and bread crust just behind, then honey, brioche and light dried fruit emerge — lemon rind, beeswax and mineral hints, with crushed stone underneath.
Palate: Dry and straight, with more facets than it lets on at first.
