Moscato d'Asti DOCG 2010
Italy » Piedmont » Ca Bianca » Moscato d'Asti DOCG 2010Summary
Terroir: The vineyards are located on the estate’s east-facing slopes that rise to 1000 feet in elevation. Densely planted vines (4,500 plants/ha) are trained by the traditional Guyot system on soil made up of sedimentary marl and clay.
Vinification: The late-harvest fruit is pressed gently and then fermented at cold temperatures in Stainless steel. The fermentation process is stopped by cooling the young wine as soon as the desired alcoholic strength has been reached (about 5%), leaving a pleasant level of residual sugar in the wine.
The fine mousse and yellow straw color gives way to a delicate and intense bouquet, with touches of peaches and sage and hints of citrus fruits. A sweet, clean flavor is enlivened by an appealing citric note.
Notes

Very gently frizzante and rich, with pear fruit up front that shows a nice touch of dried citrus spice. The palate is creamy and soft with the acid adding length to the pear, apricot and citrus finish."
