Moscato IGT BIO - Elena Casadei

The Moscato IGT BIO from Elena Casadei already captivates in the glass with a radiant, pale golden color. Delicate silver reflections make the freshness of this white wine shine. On the nose, it reveals an intense yet elegant bouquet. Juicy peach notes immediately rise and recall ripe vineyard peaches and fresh nectarines.

Vinification of Moscato IGT BIO from Elena Casadei

The foundation for this wine’s quality lies in the vineyard. The Moscatel vines grow in Tuscany within the Toscana IGT denomination. The mild climate with warm days and cool nights allows the grapes to ripen evenly. The soils offer a mix of limestone, clay and sandy components. This creates a good balance between structure, aroma and freshness. Organic cultivation avoids synthetic agents, allowing the character of the terroir to show clearly.

Work in the vineyard is targeted and gentle. Yield-reducing pruning ensures small, aromatic grapes. Canopy management and good aeration of the vines keep the berries dry and promote ripe fruit at harvest. Picking usually takes place early in the morning, so the grapes arrive cool at the winery. Only ripe berries are carefully selected. Hand harvesting allows for precise selection already in the vineyard.

In the cellar, the grapes are pressed gently to protect the delicate aromas. Careful whole-bunch pressing or a short maceration time can further intensify the aromas of peach, blossom and lemon. The must is clarified, usually by natural sedimentation. This is followed by temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel. Cool fermentation temperatures preserve the primary fruit notes and the floral character of the Moscatel grape.

Fermentation is carried through to dryness. This creates the clear, non-sweet style of this wine. Maturation takes place on the fine lees in stainless-steel tanks, where the wine ages for several months. The lees contact brings a subtle creaminess to the texture and stabilizes the aromas. At the same time, the focus remains on freshness and precision. Oak is generally not used, or only in a very restrained way, so the fine peach and blossom notes stay in the foreground.

Before bottling, Moscato IGT BIO from Elena Casadei is only moderately filtered. This protects the clarity in the glass while preserving as much aroma as possible. Every phase of vinification aims to carve out the Moscatel character clearly. The result is a dry, elegant white wine with a moderate alcohol content of 12.5% by volume. It combines lightness with expressiveness and fits perfectly with the modern image of fresh, precise organic wines from Tuscany.
