2022 Moscato d'Asti DOCG, Bricco Quaglia, Organic

Giorgio Rivetti's single vineyard Moscato d'Asti Bricco Quaglia has heralded the return of this sparkler to the fine dining tables of the Italian cognoscenti. The grapes are all sourced from the Quaglia (Quail) vineyard, a south facing slope planted with 35 year old vines.

This single vineyard is hand tended and harvested with a final selection of bunches at the winery before a short, cold maceration and fermentation in temperature controlled steel. These fermentation vessels are kept under pressure during the last stages of the fermentation at a cold temperature, which encourages the carbon dioxide, produced naturaly as a by-product, to dissolve into the wine and create the lightly sparkling style. The vineyard produces on average 6,500 bottles per hectare.

The nose displays penetrating fruity and floral notes which continue to develop on the palate, it is rich and full flavoured with a slightly bitter finish.
