About this wine

Grapes

A dessert wine made from late-harvest Moscato grapes. The fruit is left to wither on the vine, concentrating its sugars substantially.

Vinification

The grapes undergo gentle pressing. The resulting must ferments in barriques.

Ageing

The wine remains in barriques for two years.

Tasting profile

Deep old-gold in colour, with an intense hue. The delicate bouquet recalls candied fruit and apricot. The palate is warm, sweet and harmonious, with a fine, elegant body reminiscent of Sauternes.

Serving and pairing

A white Moscato dessert wine.

Label / history

The name Aurico expresses the wine’s deep golden colour and character.
