About This Wine:

Grape variety:
Moscato Bianco Canelli 100%

Vineyards:
Various in the village of Castiglione Tinella

Harvest:
Mid-September
Vinification:

Grapes are gently pressed and the juice is stocked at cold temperature (2°c / 38°f).  Fermentation then takes place in special pressurized tanks: after roughly a week of fermentation, when the proper balance between  alcohol/sugar/ acidity is reached the wine is chilled down and fermentation stops . Wine goes through a  steryl filtration (to eliminate the yeasts) and then bottled cold.


What Does It Taste Like?

Moscato d’Asti is a unique wine where the beautiful aromas of the grapes are enhanced by a crisp, nice acidity, a light frizziness and the sweetness of the natural residual sugar. The low alcohol content makes it a very easy,  pleasant wine  perfect to finish a meal with dessert or alone, as a nice  mid-day break.


Ratings & Reviews

90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"Saracco's 2009 Moscato d'Asti is like cashmere on the palate in its impossibly fine mousse. Beautifully articulated varietal aromas and flavors come together, showing exceptional elegance and pedigree.

Paolo Saracco is one of the reference-point producers of fine Moscato. I always make sure to have at least a few bottles on hand at the house." - Antonio Galloni (8/2010)

90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2008 vintage):
"The 2008 Moscato d'Asti reveals awesome richness and complexity in its expansive layers of white peaches, smoke, minerals and flowers. Multiple shades of expression continue to emerge as this superb Moscato opens up in the glass. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2010. Paolo Saracco is a reference-point producer for first class Moscato." - Antonio Galloni (8/2009)

90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2007 vintage)
