About this wine

Grapes

Moscato Canelli grapes are used.

Vinification

After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed as whole bunches to preserve their aromas. The must is cooled to 6–8 °C to prevent spontaneous fermentation, and secondary fermentation takes place at 0 °C.

Ageing

The wine rests with selected yeasts for three months, developing its aromatic character.

Tasting profile

Refined and layered.
