About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
The Moscato comes from a 55-year-old vineyard with southern exposure. Its clay-and-limestone soil is planted at approximately 5,900 vines per hectare and trained using the Gouyot system.
Grapes
100% Moscato.
Vinification
The harvest is divided into two parts. Some grapes are picked in September and dried on dedicated racks in a temperature-controlled environment. The remainder is left on the vine after the fruiting cane has been cut, staying there until late autumn or early winter.
Once drying is complete, the grapes are pressed. Their high sugar concentration makes pressing difficult and produces only a very small quantity of must. Fermentation takes place in barriques.
Ageing
The wine remains in barriques for at least 36 months, including fermentation.
