Moscato d’Asti DOCG
Tasting Notes
This straw-yellow Moscato comes from a grape variety that has probably the highest level of complex aromas of any Piedmont grape. This vintage has an intense floral aroma, followed by ripe fruits, including green apple, pear and pineapple. And those aromas carry through to the palate. There are also slight hints of acacia and honey. It is fresh-tasting, refreshing and nicely sweet.
Vineyards
The sunny hills, dry soils and cool climate of the Asti region helps shape Italy’s finest effervescent Moscato. The Moscato grapes for this wine come from vineyards located in Santo Stefano Belbo villages, at 200 to 300 ft. above sea level. The average age of the vines is 30 years, and they are grown on a Southeast and Southwest facing.
Winemaking
After harvesting, the grapes are pressed and the must is fermented in temperature-controlled autoclaves until the wine is at 5% alcohol. Then, it is hermetically sealed, allowing pris de mousse to take place over two months in its own yeast.
