Location: Asti Hills, Monferrato, Piedmont
Grape: 100% Moscato Bianco

Soils: Calcareous marl with sandy pockets
Harvest: Moscato di Canelli and Asti zones enjoy late summer warmth and cooler nights that preserve delicate aromatics. After the extreme heat and drought years of 2022 and 2023, 2024 was generally considered more balanced and less extreme. For Moscato, which is sensitive to excessive heat, 2024 was favorable for aromatic purity and freshness. Harvested in late August/early September, to preserve acidity in the Moscato Bianco.
Winemaking: Partial fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures with microfiltration, fermentation is halted to preserve the natural sweetness and low alcohol of the final wine.
Tasting notes: Medium straw color with matching highlights. The nose is aromatic with fruity notes of citrus as well as floral aromas like rose and orange blossom. The palate is pleasantly sweet and long lasting.
Pairing: Enjoy this wine with your favorite dessert. From baked pastries to fresh cream filled sweets. Serve chilled at 43-46°F.
