Saracco Moscato D'Asti DOCG NV (Italy) (375ml)

Description

Straw yellow with greenish hues in the glass, fine perlage, slow fermentation index. The bouquet presents intense orange blossom, peach and thyme (the main aromas found in the grapes). Intense, elegant and lingering on the palate. The sweet sensations are well balanced with a pleasant acidity and fruity aromas typical of Muscat grapes. Moscato d'Asti is an indigenous aromatic wine characterised by orange, peach and lime notes, with a sweet taste rich in minerals.

The grapes for this wine are grown in vineyards located in Castiglione Tinella, Santo Stefano Belbo, Castagnole Lanze, Calosso.

After harvesting, the bunches are gently pressed to extract the most flavourful juice from the outermost part of the grapes. The must is kept in stainless steel containers at -3°C, where it can be kept for months. When there is market demand, it is then transferred into autoclaves for temperature-controlled fermentation, microfiltered for purity and then bottled to keep the freshness and flavours intact.

Food Pairing: ideal with pastries, cakes, fruit tarts, ice cream, biscuits. Also delicious with cheeses such as gorgonzola and in cocktails.
