Area of origin
Monferrato. The majority of the grapes come from the ancient production area of Moscato called Sessame; a selection of vineyards based on simple concepts. The vines are over thirty years old with a modest production. The altitude is between 250 and 450 meters above sea level in areas where the “Marino” wind blows.
Soil
Argilloso Limoso Sabbioso
Tasting notes
It has a pale straw yellow color which over time evolves into more intense reflections. On the nose it is initially characterized by balsamic herbs and a minerality reminiscent of flint. As the wine acclimates to the glass, one discovers a bouquet of flowers between elderberry and hawthorn and a fruity note of white plum and gooseberry. Aging in the bottle will make the aforementioned notes warmer until they evolve to a state of maturity. On the palate it shows a great structure, it is full, harmonious, with barely hinted hardness, typical of white Moscato in the dry interpretation.
Food pairings
Enjoy it with an open mind; it is recommended with all fish dishes, preferably shellfish, and soft cheeses; another very pleasant pairing occasion can be with all the spicy cuisine, Asian, Indian, African, whose aroma is an intense prerogative of the dish. In the vegan, soups not excessively rich with legumes, and always well spiced, find a natural combination with this wine. Serve at 4-6°C.
