Moscato D'asti
Moscato d'Asti DOCG is one of the wines of the great Piedmontese tradition. It is produced in the territory of many municipalities located in the hilly area of Asti, Cuneo and Alessandria. The specification defines the ampelographic base in 100% white muscat. Moscato d'Asti is not produced through the Charmat sparkling method, although it has a slight natural liveliness. After pressing, the must is refrigerated at 0 °C to prevent fermentation. Then the must is brought to 18 °C and the selected yeasts are added to start the fermentation. When the must reaches 4.5-5.5 degrees of alcohol, fermentation is stopped by lowering the temperature. After filtration the wine is bottled.
It is a wine of low alcohol content and with an important sugar residue. It is corked with the classic cylinder cork. It is an extremely ductile dessert wine. It goes well with small pastries, cakes, pies and is perfect for all leavened desserts, in particular pandoro and panettone.
