The fragrance of its aroma, which comes direct from the grapes, imbues this wine with an intense nose of musk, locust and orange flowers, sage and honey, and the lingering of its carefree flavour brings out the brightest of spirits. The warmth arid light that the sun has shed on the vineyards are reproduced in the glass, where this clear, straw-yellow wine has a pleasantly sweet taste that is very well-balanced and features honey and just-picked grapes.

100% moscato bianco
the vineyards face south on a steeply sloping hill composed of the white soil typically found in earth of sedimentary origin, packed with calcareous marl, and with a highly alkaline pH. The age of the vines varies between 20 and 40 years.

the grapes are picked by hand, with a part being pressed immediately on arrival in the winery, while the remaining are de-stemmed before undergoing brief maceration in a heat-controlled tank, where they are kept for around 12 hours at a temperature of 5°C. Very gentle pressing only extracts the freerunning juice from the grapes, separating it from the solid parts. The fermentation begins when the temperature arrives at 18°C, and is brought to an end when 3 degrees of alcohol have been reached. The Moncucco is then stored in steel at a temperature of 0°C for a period of maturation that lasts until the beginning of the following spring. The wine is then transferred into a pressure tank, where its fermentation continues until an alcohol content of 5.5% by vol. is reached.
