| Wine list | Moscato |
A label of great prestige, very renowned and appreciated all over the world. The vinification involves the use of 100% pure Muscat grapes. The vinification foresees that the grapes, just harvested, arrive in the cellar intact and is quickly crushed and gently destemmed to extract from the skin and from the outer area of the berry only the most noble and aromatic fractions. The must is immediately refrigerated pending the subsequent partial fermentation in autoclave, so that the carbon dioxide, which gives the lively foam, remains partially dissolved in the wine. The fermentation is then stopped by refrigeration, so that there remain about 140 grams of sugar per liter.
