VINEYARD
The “Moscati” are big group of vineyards, the most popular, with different origins, but the variety Moscato Bianco (White Moscato) is surely the oldest. It was in Piedmont that the Moscato, during the centuries, founded its privileged soil, giving birth to a particular variety called Moscato Bianco di Canelli. It’s a difficult vineyard, it prefers marly and calcareous soils with sandy inserts. Regarding the weather, the Moscato bianco is cultivated between 250 m and 400 m high, but when there is a good sun exposition, it can achieve 650 meter high. Here we can find the typical terraced hillsides. The taste is sweet, delicious and scented.
VINIFICATION
Manual harvest, the grapes are gathered in little boxes. The best grapes go directly into the press and with a soft pressing the most is taken out. The most is decanted at a low temperature for 8 hours. The most is filtrated to eliminate the yeast and avoid fermentation. Storage in cold stores at a temperature of 2 degrees C. After the storage the wine is decanted in pressured tanks and the fermentation starts. After the fermentation the wine is bottled by inert atmosphere to maintain in the the bottle the same pressure as in the tank to obtain sparkling wine.
