MOSCATO D'ASTI DOCG

The vineyard is located in San Rocco Seno d'Elvio, in the Montersino cru, an area where Barbaresco predominates. It is unusual for a Barolo and Barbaresco producer to dedicate precious space to non-Nebbiolo vineyards, but Alessandro preferred differentiation, creating a wine that few in that area produce, Moscato d'Asti DOCG. The clay-limestone soil makes this wine very fragrant and suitable for aging for about two or three years, unlike other more ephemeral Moscato wines. A surprising wine worth tasting.

Tasting notes: bright straw yellow colour with golden reflections, fine, lively and persistent perlage. Intensely aromatic aroma reminiscent of the typical fragrance of the grape, fruity and delicate aroma. On the palate, notes of yellow peach and ripe apricot, a very harmonious sweet flavour with the right balance between acidity and sugars.

Food pairing suggestion: it is the dessert wine par excellence, very versatile, also goes well with ice cream, fresh fruit and small pastries. If you want to go against common beliefs, try it with Gorgonzola, Mascarpone and walnuts.
