About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The Moscato ripens in sunny, well-exposed vineyards. The technical sheet gives orientations ranging from east through south to southwest. The clay-tuff soil is rich in limestone, a composition associated with the wine’s aromatic finesse.
Planting density is 4,800 vines per hectare. The vines are trained low using single Guyot, with the foliage directed upward to expose the bunches to sunlight and encourage photosynthesis. No more than eight or nine fruiting buds are retained.
Grapes
Moscato.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand during the first or second ten days of September.

Tasting profile
The colour ranges from pale to deeper straw yellow, with a fine, persistent perlage. The nose is rich, intense and fragrant, expressing ripe Moscato grapes alongside wisteria, peach and apricot, with nuances of sage, lemon and orange blossom. The palate is sweet, delicate and fresh, with moderate alcohol, a savoury dimension and very long aromatic persistence recalling the flavours and fragrance of ripe grapes.
Serving and pairing
Serve chilled with desserts, particularly creams, fruit tarts, petits fours and other pastries. Its low alcohol also makes it suitable as a refreshing drink or a light celebratory toast.
