Questo vino

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from estate vineyards at 127 m above sea level. The Italian wine page gives the training systems as doppio capovolto and spur-pruned cordon.

Grapes

Moscato Bianco.

Vinification

The Moscato grapes are lightly pressed. The must undergoes cold fermentation in an autoclave, where a natural prise de mousse creates the wine's sparkle.

Technical data

The latest published vintage is 2023, with 6.5% alcohol.

Tasting profile

A sweet sparkling wine, straw yellow in colour, with a fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet is floral and characteristic of Moscato. On the palate, freshness balances the sweetness, giving a pleasant, lively impression.

Serving and pairing

Pair with creamy desserts or dry pastries.

Vintage notes
