Moscato dolce
Sparkling

The grapes
100% Moscato cultivated “a guyout” in the town of Volpara and harvested in the second ten days of September

Winemaking
The grapes are stemmed and the must, together with the skins, is cold macerated for 24 hours in order to extract the majority of the aromas without allowing fermentation to start. Then there is separation of the pomace from the must, which is decanted and fermented at a controlled temperature. When the effective alcohol content reaches 5% the must-wine is cooled, filtered and kept in cooled tanks at -1/0°C so it stays sweet.

Bottling
After refermentation in the autoclave, the wine is microfiltered and bottled immediately.

Organoleptic characteristics
In the glass it is sparkling, straw-yellow in colour, strong with bright golden reflections and is fairly sticky. Its aroma is intense, persistent, very aromatic. On the palate it is sweet and full.

Accompaniments
Ideal with creamy and dry desserts

Technical notes
The wine has an alcohol content of 5.5% vol with a sugar residue of 100-120 g/l and should be served in sweet white wine glasses at a temperature of 8°C. Bottles should be stored horizontally away from light and in a very cool place (refrigerated if possible). As it is an aromatic wine, it is best drunk within 6/8 months.
