Moscato d'Asti

Designation: Moscato d’Asti D.O.C.G.

Grape Variety: Moscato 100%

The grapes are sourced from small vineyards in Castiglione Tinella. 4.500 plants per hectare; Guyot-cultivated vines with an average age of 40 years. Limestone and clay-rich soil.

Winemaking: the winemaking begins with the delicate pressing of the grapes and natural cold decanting. The must is stored at a very low temperature in stainless-steel tanks to avoid spontaneous fermentation. Throughout the year, individual portions of the must are added in an autoclave at a temperature of 12-14 degrees to initiate alcoholic fermentation. When a percentage of around 5.5% alcohol by volume is reached, the temperature is quickly reduced to stop fermentation. The wine is then filtered. This Moscato wine does not undergo malolactic fermentation; it is bottled, thus maintaining its natural freshness and aromas.

Description: bright straw-yellow color with slightly shimmering hints of gold. Intense aromas of ripe yellow fruit (peach, apricot), floral notes (rose petal) and hints of ginger. Sweet and delicate on the palate, with modest acidity, good balance and complexity. Slightly sparkling.
