Moscato Spumante
Aromatic Sweet Sparkling Wine
Grapes are picked by hand to select the best fruit. After a soft pressing, a short period of maceration and a short static decantation of the must, the temperature is reduced to 0°C to avoid the fermentation. Starting from the must, fermentation takes place in stainless steel, then a short Charmat method, about two months. In the end the wine is chilled, filtered and isobaric bottling is carried out.

Serving suggestions
Bright golden yellow, a fine and delicate perlage. Notes of exotic fruits and orange zest, peach and apricot. Sweet with subtle aromatic aromas of citrus fruit; the aromatic aftertaste recalls the flavour of the Moscato grape, with pleasant freshness.
While dessert is Moscato's forte, cheese courses, charcuterie or antipasto plates can be perfect pairings. Its versatility, and the lower alcohol also make it an ideal aperitif candidate.
