# Regina di Felicità (Cascina Baricchi)

> Sweet, Vino Spumante Dolce by [Cascina Baricchi](https://ilvinobello.com/wineries/cascina-baricchi.md), Barbaresco, Piemonte, Italy. From Il Vino Bello (https://ilvinobello.com/wines/cascina-baricchi-regina-di-felicita).

- **Producer:** Cascina Baricchi
- **Style:** Sweet
- **Denomination:** Vino Spumante Dolce
- **Grape:** Moscato Bianco
- **Production area:** Neviglie
- **Harvest:** A winter harvest in December or January, picked at night between 4:30 and 8:00 when the temperature falls below -5°C and the grapes are fully frozen.
- **Vineyard planting:** Planted in the late 1980s and early 1990s from the estate's own vines, about 4,500 vines per hectare.
- **Vinification:** The frozen grapes are pressed in a small vertical hydraulic press, yielding only 3 to 5 percent juice, which ferments in new Allier barriques and stabilises naturally in the cold. Ice wines from several vintages are then blended with fresh Moscato must and refermented in pressurised tank (charmat method), with about nine months on the lees.

## Summary

A sweet sparkling Moscato built on ice wine from grapes picked frozen on winter nights, refermented with fresh Moscato must.

## Tasting notes

The estate describes a straw yellow with golden glints, bright from its good acidity, rich in tropical fruit: passion fruit, mango and papaya, with the intense scent of Moscato and overripe grapes. On the palate a pleasant Moscato foam; great freshness and a fine, long-charmat perlage give this sweet wine real balance.

## Food pairings

Created to go with terrine of foie gras; also very good with all desserts and, at Christmas, with an artisan panettone.
