Nose
The aroma is intense, rich in aromatic hints - in particular orange, peach and apricot blossoms
Palate
Fresh and persistent, it recalls the hints perceived at the nose, in perfect balance with the low alcohol content and the acidity, which is never very high
Growing Conditions
The grapes intended for the production of Moscato d'Asti le Meridiane come from vineyards grown on hills characterized by medium-textured marl in which, compared to limestone, the fine fractions prevail, i.e. quartz sand and very fine silt, capable of providing an abundance of trace elements simultaneously ensuring an immediate expression of the bouquet.
Winemaking
The grapes are rigorously harvested by hand and a selection of the best bunches is made already in the vineyard. Once it arrives in the cellar, it is destemmed and pressed and then delicately conveyed into the stainless steel tanks. Here the alcoholic fermentation begins at a controlled temperature.
The must is immediately refrigerated while awaiting the subsequent partial fermentation in an autoclave, so that the carbon dioxide, which gives the lively foam, remains partially dissolved in the wine. The fermentation is then interrupted by refrigeration so that abundant residual sugars remain.
Appearance
The perlage is fine and abundant. The color is straw yellow with golden reflections.
Food Pairing
Sweet and aromatic, it goes well with desserts and with the classic torrone with hazelnuts. It is ideal for parties and it is a pleasant thirst-quenching drink in every moment of the day, especially after sports.
