On the label the Latin phrase 'Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas' means 'the farmer with the plough directs the work'. We chose it when we acquired the vineyard and<br />became its owners. It is a vineyard on the hill of Mango, a village in the Langa. We bought it in 1990. The letter G highlighted on the label underlines the transmission from<br />father to son of the knowledge of the vineyard: Giuseppe, Giacomo and Giuseppe again.<br /><br />Denomination: Moscato d'Asti DOCG.<br />Grapes and Vineyard: Produced with 100% Moscato d'Asti grapes from our own vineyard in Mango.<br />Winery: Maceration with the skins for a few hours in a horizontal press followed by pressing.

MOSCATO D'ASTI<br />DENOMINAZIONE DI ORIGINE CONTROLLATA E GARANTITA<br />Moscato is part of the culinary tradition of Piedmont. We strive to preserve its full energy and wish to pair it with the most joyful moments in life. (Milena Vaira)<br />DESCRIPTION: Moscato is a beautifully aromatic variety that is deeply rooted in the winemaking heritage of Piemonte. We pick our grapes at full ripening, when the berries<br />start to be gold in color. Our dream is to bring all the perfumes, the freshness and the texture intact to the bottle.<br />VARIETY: 100% Moscato bianco.<br />VINEYARD AND TERROIR: Steep, old estate vineyards.<br />HARVEST AND WINEMAKING: Moscato harvest starts usually around the end of August. Picking decisions are individual to each site. Aldo always gives few more days of<br />ripening to this variety, which is a challenging decision in a crucial period yet rewarded by the beautiful fruits. Cold settling followed by a slow fermentation at low<br />temperature. Fermentation is stopped by drop of temperature, and the wine is kept refrigerated until bottling.<br />TASTING NOTES: Beautiful soft color with green reflections. Aromas of fruit with yellow flesh: apricot, peach, exotic fruits. Then elderflower, pear and a hint of sage.<br />Delicate and persistent bubbles, refreshing and cleansing the palate. The balance between sweetness and freshness continues in a long and creamy finish,<br />surprisingly savory.<br />

Moscato Giallo - grapes in a glass.<br /><br />Five times a day fruit and vegetables, they say. With our cheerfully bright Goldmuskateller made from sun-soaked grapes - properly tempered - a joy!<br /><br />Grape variety: Goldmuskateller.<br />Colour: bright straw yellow.<br />Aroma and taste: delicate scents of nutmeg, cedar wood and grapefruit. Fruity, juicy, mineral and with a persistent aroma.<br />Site and soil: Mazzon near Kaltern at 350 m above sea level, a very steep, south-facing slope with extreme sun exposure and warm gravel soils with moraine deposits.<br />Vogelleiten on Manincor, an extremely steep site with loamy cold gravel soil.<br />Vinification: The destemmed grapes remained in the press for twelve hours for maceration to extract aroma and structure from the skins. Fermentation took place in wooden<br />barrels, partly spontaneously with the grape's own yeasts. During the four months of ageing on the fine lees, the aroma and flavour were refined.<br />Serving temperature: 8 -10 °C.<br />Goes well as an aperitif, with Asian cuisine and with strong hard cheeses.<br />
