I grandi Vini di Langa > Passito

Moscato grapes, which are the most smelly and the sweetest among the Piedmontese vines, give an optimum passito wine, to be tasted at the end of the meal with friends. It is composed exclusively by Moscato vine, whose grapes are left near the plant until the first week of November, so that they can loose naturally their part of water, and leave a higher sugar concentration. Only the best grapes, which are smelly, can be part of the vintage which is carried out manually and carefully. After the vinification, the maceration occurs for eight months in small casks, and then there is a refining in bottles for six months. Its colour is an intense golden yellow; its smell is wide, intense, with a characteristic musky odour; its taste is sweet, harmonic, velvety, aromatic.
