A new version of Insolito, a macerated dry Moscato.

The wine finishes fermentation for about 2 weeks, is racked several times and stirred on its lees for 6 months in barriques; bottled the next summer. Ageing: 2 months in stainless steel, 6 months in barriques, 24 months in bottle.
Storage
One year in barrique
