Moscato d'Asti DOCG Lumine Ca'D'Gal 2024

The wine

The vines of small-grained white Muscat grapes grow on a variety of soils, rich in limestone and marine sediments. This wide diversity is undoubtedly responsible for the aromas and freshness of the grapes. Once harvested, the fruit is meticulously sorted and gently pressed to extract only the most aromatic part of the juice. The cuvée undergoes fermentation in an autoclave at controlled temperatures of 16–18°C for several days until the alcohol level reaches 5% vol. The winemaking process is completed in 50 days.
The bright straw-yellow colour, accentuated by a fine, delicate effervescence, unveils a delightful bouquet of acacia and aromatic herbs mingling with peach and apricot. The soft, seductive palate offers plenty of freshness, expressed with imagination and vivacity.
