Tasting Notes
Aroma
An intense bouquet featuring scents of candied fruit, acacia blossom and a musky background. The scent of violet is quite unique.
Palate
A high-altitude Moscato, full-bodied and velvety.
Vinification
After harvesting, the ripe Moscato grapes undergo soft pressing. The product obtained is chilled to 0 C to prevent fermentation. Each individual batch is filtered and put in a pressurised tank which retains the carbon dioxide and warms the product, which is still completely sugary, to a temperature of 15 C. This promotes the fermentation process which is allowed to continue until an alcohol content of 5.5% vol. is reached. The product, which is now Moscato dAsti, is chilled to a temperature of 0 C to block fermentation. The wine is bottled at the beginning of November.
Food Matching
Served cool at a temperature of 10-12 C in crystal glasses, it pairs delicately with desserts, fresh fruit and fruit salads.
