Moscato d'Asti D.O.C.G. Canelli

The Moscato Bianco is a very old vine widespread on our hills since 1500 with the name of “Moscatellium”. It’s a sweet wine par excellence with straw yellow colour. It's limpid and brilliant with a elegant and lasting perlage. It’s unique because of its intense but very fine musky scent that get married very well in a flowery bouquet of wisteria, white-horn, linden flowers and Summer fruits as peaches and abricots.
