Moscato d'Asti

£10.50

Quantity

This wine has a gentle sparkle, with aromas of honey, flowers and fresh grapes. Ripe apricot, grape notes and a soft mousse on the palate. Refreshing acidity on the finish to balance the sweetness. Try as an aperitif or as a dessert wine with a fresh fruit salad.
The vineyards of the Moscato d'Asti have a south westerly aspect and are at altitudes of between 250 and 400 m above sea level based in the Monferatto hills. The vines are grown in limestone-clay soil using the Piedmont low Guyot trellis. The average age of the vines is 30 years and the planting density 4000-4500 vines per ha. The fruit is hand-harvested between 1st to 12th September. Fermentation is in pressure tanks under temperature control. The fermentation is deliberately stopped by chilling and filtration to retain just 5% alcohol and a luscious natural sweetness.
