Barolo DOCG 2019 - Pertinace

The Moscato Rosa grape is a very ancient grape, 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 for its great ability to accumulate large quantities of sugar.This wine is obtained from small vineyards located on the cone of the town of Pressano, north of Trento, at 250 -300 meters, with south-southwest exposure on clayey-calcareous soils and in a very ventilated area to avoid health problems and allow the grapes to reach a perfect level of aromatic and sugary ripeness.The grapes are harvested by hand very late after a natural drying on the plant and, after destemming, it is 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 the flower wine only without squeezing the pomace. This is followed by storage in steel for a few months, always at a low temperature to preserve the aromas of this elegant wine
