Sold out
The production of Moscato Passito is a very old process, involving the separate vinification of the Moscato grapes. The must obtained by vinifying the malvasia and guarnaccia grapes is boiled to concentrate it and increase the sugar content. Muscatel grapes are harvested and dried a few weeks before harvest. The dehydrated muscatel and adduroca berries are selected, crushed by hand and then added to the concentrated must from the first pressing followed by fermentation in steel.
Amber yellow. Dried fruit, exotic fruit, apricot, candied orange peel. Sweet, fresh, broad, enveloping, fine, intense, lingering, fruity notes.
