Grape variety: 100% Moscato di Alessandria. SOME OF the grapes ARE put TO dry IN the sun AND wind FOR about 20/30 days. The remaining part IS harvested IN late September AND the must obtained IS combined WITH the raisins during fermentation. THEN the wine IS aged seven months IN steel casks AND twelve months IN glass. Appealing AND beautiful amber colour. Bright AND consistent. Intense AND numerous scents can be noticed: dried apricots, barley sugar, cotton candy, orange blossom honey, saffron, herbs, sponge cake, sea-breeze notes. The taste IS sweet, warm, intense, pervasive, soft AND balanced by excellent freshness AND flavour. Well-orchestarted wine that does NOT tire the palate, WITH a long fruity AND sweet finish AND continuous olfactory memories. Great meditation wine OR TO MATCH WITH sweet ricotta cheese OR sweets made ​​WITH chocolate.
