Moscato Spring Edition
All the grapes used to produce this Moscato d’ Asti wine come from an estate vineyard of 22 hectares (54 acres) located at the highest elevation in the Castiglione Tinella village.
A chapel dedicated to Saint Charles, the “Cappella di San Carlo”, lies at the top of the vineyards, 500 meters above sea level, while the bottom of the property ends in a very step bluff of calcareous soil formations called “calanchi”, surrounded by wild cherry trees.
The particular mix of soil and climate gives a unique high aromatic intensity to the grapes and allows us to produce a Moscato d’ Asti bright and elegant.
