The aromatic Moscato grape (Muscat Blanc) has been part of Piedmont’s winemaking traditions for generations. It produces a wine with intense aromas characteristic of this grape variety, fruity nuances sweet from natural residual sugar. Its low alcohol content makes it an extremely pleasant versatile wine.
Hand harvested grapes were gently crushed before being pressed. The must was left in the press for a brief period to extract aromas. The free run wine was transferred into stainless steel vats where alcoholic fermentation took place until the wine reached 5% alcohol content and then fermentation was halted by sharply reducing the temperature. The wine was clarified, filtered, and then bottled.
Moscato d’Asti Prunotto is an intense straw yellow color. The nose offers characteristic aromas of the Moscato Bianco grape and hints of sage and hawthorn blossoms. Its full palate is vigorous and elegant and closes with a harmonious, fresh, and pleasing finish.
