The Moscato Rosa vine is a very ancient vine, of probable Greek origins which, passing through Sicily, arrived in Trentino in the mid-nineteenth century. The name seems to derive more from the primary aroma of rose that characterizes this aromatic vine, than from the color of the berry, which is actually bluish-black. Moscato Rosa is very delicate to cultivate as it is subject to various problems in flowering and ripening which greatly reduce its production capacity. For all these reasons, as well as being noble, it is also a precious wine, also due to its great ability to accumulate large quantities of sugar. This wine is obtained from small vineyards located on the alluvial fan of the town of Pressano, north of Trento, at about 250-300 metres, facing south-southwest on clayey-limestone soils and in a well-ventilated area to avoid health problems and allow the grapes the achievement of a perfect level of aromatic and sugar ripening. The grapes are harvested by hand very late after a natural drying on the vine and, after destemming, are subjected to traditional vinification with the addition of selected yeasts at a temperature of 22-24°C for 6-8 days. Then with the use of cold (5°C), the fermentation process is naturally blocked with the consequent maintenance of the desired residual sugar. It then continues with the collection of only flower wine without pressing of the pomace. This is followed by conservation in steel for a few months, always at a low temperature to preserve the aromas of this elegant wine

The name means that it is a product that originates from history. In fact, in the past years it was customary in peasant houses that, at the birth of a child, especially the firstborn, the father or grandfather of the unborn child would produce a particular wine at the first harvest, the "cooked wine". This wine was kept for years in small wooden barrels. It was opened, to offer it to diners, on the occasion of the First Communion and subsequently for the marriage of the child. Deliciously accompanied by typical Abruzzo desserts, sweets with almonds or in any case dry pasta.

The care and effort of an extreme production work are illuminated by golden flashes that bring with them an intriguing bouquet, full of sweetness and freshness.
