The Moscato vineyards are located in Neviglie at an altitude of 450 m. The location and terroir of the Moscato vineyard are certainly a reason why this Moscato is so fresh, mineral and elegant. The vineyard was planted in 1965 with a planting density of up to 4,000 vines/ha; The Moscato grapes were harvested in the first half of September. Once in the winery, the grapes are distilled, crushed and cooled (temperature of 10-13 ° C). The grapes are then placed in the pneumatic press to divide the skins of the must (soft crush). The must is then left to rest for a few days in stainless steel thermo-conditioned tanks (13°C) to separate the turbidity. The clear must is then filtered and stored in stainless steel tanks at a very low temperature.
