The wine appears crystalline with straw greenish tint and a gentle characteristic Muscat aroma. Distinguished by refreshing floral scents with notes of elder and fresh white fruit. This wine has a very pleasant and complex bouquet owing to the freshness of its acidity, balanced by the low sugar residual and an elegant body.
Vinification:
Grapes are hand-selected. Soft pressing of grapes after removal of stalks and cold maceration for 2 hours before pressing. Alcohol fermentation, at controlled temperature (16°C), lasts 15 days. After that the wine matures on yeast lees (battonage) for 4 months in stainless steel vats before bottling.
The Muscat is a very pleasant aperitif. Because it is semidry and quite intense, it pairs well with desserts, especially fresh creamy cakes, for example cheesecake. It works alone just as well, a glass as a refreshment on a summer terrace.
