From the vinification of Moscato Bianco grapes. The origin is that of Piedmont, from vineyards in the heart of the area historically most suited to this vine. Harvest by hand involves selected precious grapes. Vinification takes the soft pressing of the whole grapes; the must is stored in steel at -2 ° C, followed by a slow fermentation in autoclaves at a controlled temperature until it reaches 5 degrees of alcohol. During this process, part of the carbon dioxide developed during fermentation remains "trapped" in the wine, giving it its natural slight effervescence. Before bottling, the wine was then subjected to micro-filtration to give it transparency, purity and stop any further fermentation of the yeasts.
