Vinification of Prunotto Moscato d'Asti

This wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, Gelber Muskateller. Only the best grapes were harvested for this exceptionally elegant single-varietal wine from Prunotto. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Piedmont. Here, the vines dig their roots deep into soils of limestone, clay and marl. The grapes for Moscato d'Asti are harvested exclusively by hand at optimum ripeness, without the help of coarse and less selective grape harvesters. After the harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the winery. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally drawn off.
