About this wine

Grapes

A white dessert wine made from late-harvested Moscato grapes. The fruit is left to wither naturally on the vines, concentrating its sugars.

Vinification

After gentle pressing, the must ferments in barriques.

Ageing

The wine remains in barriques for two years.

Tasting profile

Deep old-gold colour. Delicate aromas of candied fruit and apricot lead to a warm, sweet and harmonious palate. The body is fine and elegant, with a style reminiscent of Sauternes.

Label / history

The name Aurico evokes the wine’s intense old-gold colour and its warm, harmonious character.
