Vineyard

The grapes for Araldica's Moscato d'Asti are sourced from their members' vineyards, in the Monferrato hills in the south of the province of Asti in the Piemonte region. The vineyards have a south westerly aspect and are at altitudes of between 250 and 400 m above sea level. Vines are trained in the Piedmont low Guyot trellis. The average age of the vines are about 30 years old, with the planting density of about 10,000 acres.

Vinification

Fermentation in pressure tank under temperature control. The fermentation is deliberately stopped by chilling and filtration to retain the luscious natural sweetness.

Tasting Note

Sweet and gently sparkling with delicate aromas of honey, flowers and fresh grapes. On the palate, the wine reveals further aromatic apricot, stone fruit, grape notes and a soft mousse. Delightful refreshing acidity on the finish to balance the sweetness.
