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 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 father to son of the knowledge of the vineyard: Giuseppe, Giacomo and Giuseppe again.
Denomination: Moscato d'Asti DOCG. Grapes and Vineyard: Produced with 100% Moscato d'Asti grapes from our own vineyard in Mango. Winery: Maceration with the skins for a few hours in a horizontal press followed by pressing. White vinification with prise de mousse in temperature-controlled autoclaves for 20 days at about 4°. At the end of fermentation, stabilisation with refrigeration at - 4°, microfiltration and refinement in the bottle for a few weeks. Tasting: Brilliant straw yellow colour, fine foam and rich perlage. Extraordinarily fresh and very varied bouquet, with fresh fruit, orange blossom, rose and musk among the many notes. Sweet but very graceful taste, aromatic characteristic of grapes, delicious and with long persistence. Accompanies: fruit desserts, fruit, dry pastries, panettone, hazelnut cake, special cheeses such as Castelmagno. Very pleasant as an aperitif and as a thirst-quenching drink at any time of day. Serving recommendations: Serve at 6 - 8°.
