Winegrowers in the heart of the Moscato d'Asti
Castiglione Tinella: in the heart of the Moscato d'Asti. The Saracco family has produced this aromatic wine in this area since the early 1900s and cultivating their own vineyards, which is an important part of the process, creating a link with the ideal terrain for growing Moscato grapes.
1900 - 1950
With the support of their founder Luigi Saracco, a family of winemakers put their aromatic Moscato wine on the market, selling wine in bulk in the spring to companies which produce Vermouth.
1950 - 1988
Under the leadership Giovanni, Luigi's son, the company grows, acquiring new vineyards and increasing grape production. The wine is sold to manufacturers of Asti Spumante. During this period changes were made in production, to make Moscato more attractive to the market.
1988 - Today
The passion and professionalism shown in previous decades are continued by Paolo Saracco, Giovanni's son and current owner, who decided to start bottling Moscato after studying oenology. And so, the Paolo Saracco label was born. This idea has allowed wine lovers in Italy and across the globe to discover a hugely aromatic, balanced Moscato d'Asti.
Precise work in the vineyard and winery sought the right balance between tradition and technology. A few years later, Moscato Saracco has become a reference point in the wine industry. And it all started in the heart of the Moscato d'Asti area at Castiglione Tinella, in 50 hectares of land, as is traditional for winemakers.
