GRAPES
100% Moscato Di Castigliona
REGION

METHOD OF PRODUCTION
After the grapes have reached the proper level of ripeness, the vines are cut in order to initiate the drying process on the vine. This method will produce the right amount of sugar concentration. Open air circulation will help to avoid the growth of molds. At the desired sugar concentration the grapes are harvested, crushed, and cold fermented. The resulting wine is fined for about six months in wood barrels, then bottled and further aged for an additional six months, before release.
WINE NOTES
