Sweet
Vigna Moncucco
By Teresa Soria Winery, Asti, Piemonte, Italy
The estate's first Moscato d'Asti DOCG, bottled in 2014, from the steep Moncucco hill with vines over forty years old.
Tasting notes
Pale straw with greenish reflections. Fresh and aromatic, with sage, green apple and candied fruit. Sweetness and acidity are well balanced, giving length and tension.
Pairs well with
Sweet white of about 6% alcohol, to drink fresh with dry or fresh pastries; also an aperitif or with starters with green sauce and anchovies, such as tongue in green sauce.

- Vines over forty years old on loose, steep soils. Hand-picked in crates at full phenological ripeness, pressed whole at once; the must is filtered through Dutch cloth bags without cold storage and ferments at low temperature for about 10 days. Depending on the year, fermentation is stopped by chilling at 5.5 to 6% alcohol and the wine rests on fine lees with daily stirring for some months, then is cleared and bottled. A few months in steel, at least 6 months in bottle.
