The grapes used to produce this finely aromatic Asti spumante come from Moscato bianco vineyards on soil rich in limestone. The continuous 'perlage' and persistent foam are a prelude to the ample and intense perfume reminiscent of orange blossom and sage. The sweet and inviting flavour is tempered by a stimulating acidity. Ideal with dessert, the wine of the party, as an aperitif and for any other occasion to remember.
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION: Vineyard exposure: east-south to south-west, with rows oriented to take full advantage of the sun's action on leaves and bunches. Soil composition: clayey-tufaceous soil rich in limestone, which enhances the finesse and aromaticity of the wines, very important for this grape variety. Vine density: nr. 4000/5000 vines per hectare from 5 to 40 years. Type of training: low plant with simple guyot, tending to bring the leafy part upwards, in order to expose the bunches to the sun's action and encourage photosynthesis on the leaves. A maximum of 8/9 fruit buds are left. Harvest: 1st or 2nd decade of September, picked by hand.
