Moscato d'Asti is an excellent dessert wine that goes well with dry pastries and fruit cakes; moreover, thanks to the moderate alcohol content, it is a pleasant thirst-quenching drink in the summer. The combination with cured meats and cheeses is more provocative; a provocation that will amaze you! To preserve all the fragrance of the fruit in the wine, it is necessary to adopt a particular harvesting and vinification technique. In fact the grapes, coming from the company's own vineyards, are harvested manually in the vineyard and carefully placed in boxes for transport to the cellar; here they are delicately pressed and the must obtained is kept in cooling vats (-1.5° C) until the moment of vinification in an autoclave. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature and with the help of selected yeasts until 5% alcohol is reached. Subsequently the wine will be filtered and bottled. The result is a lively wine with strong and intense varietal characters.
