Through hard work and meticulous attention to detail, we ultimately achieved great results.<br />Our vines coped well with both the wet spring and the hot and dry summer, and the golden autumn helped us achieve perfect ripeness. Physiolog-ical ripeness, sugar<br />ripeness and acidity are in perfect balance. Ripe fruit, cool character and moderate alcohol characterise the vintage.<br />The Golden Muscat grapes were left on the vines until the end of September for perfect maturity.

On the label the Latin phrase 'Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas' means 'the farmer with the plough directs the work'. We chose it when we acquired the vineyard and<br />became its owners. It is a vineyard on the hill of Mango, a village in the Langa. We bought it in 1990. The letter G highlighted on the label underlines the transmission from<br />father to son of the knowledge of the vineyard: Giuseppe, Giacomo and Giuseppe again.<br /><br />Denomination: Moscato d'Asti DOCG.<br />Grapes and Vineyard: Produced with 100% Moscato d'Asti grapes from our own vineyard in Mango.<br />Winery: Maceration with the skins for a few hours in a horizontal press followed by pressing.

MOSCATO D'ASTI<br />DENOMINAZIONE DI ORIGINE CONTROLLATA E GARANTITA<br />Moscato is part of the culinary tradition of Piedmont. We strive to preserve its full energy and wish to pair it with the most joyful moments in life. (Milena Vaira)<br />DESCRIPTION: Moscato is a beautifully aromatic variety that is deeply rooted in the winemaking heritage of Piemonte. We pick our grapes at full ripening, when the berries<br />start to be gold in color. Our dream is to bring all the perfumes, the freshness and the texture intact to the bottle.<br />VARIETY: 100% Moscato bianco.<br />VINEYARD AND TERROIR: Steep, old estate vineyards.<br />HARVEST AND WINEMAKING: Moscato harvest starts usually around the end of August. Picking decisions are individual to each site. Aldo always gives few more days of<br />ripening to this variety, which is a challenging decision in a crucial period yet rewarded by the beautiful fruits. Cold settling followed by a slow fermentation at low<br />temperature. Fermentation is stopped by drop of temperature, and the wine is kept refrigerated until bottling.<br />TASTING NOTES: Beautiful soft color with green reflections. Aromas of fruit with yellow flesh: apricot, peach, exotic fruits. Then elderflower, pear and a hint of sage.<br />Delicate and persistent bubbles, refreshing and cleansing the palate. The balance between sweetness and freshness continues in a long and creamy finish,<br />surprisingly savory.<br />
