Moscato Rosa 2021

An indigenous Alto Adige variety, Moscato Rosa grapes are grown at Egna, in a particularly windy area that is fundamental to avoid the humidity that can trigger the onset of botrytis. A low yielding vine, it is neither late harvested or a Passito style. Rather, the grape has naturally high sugar and, following a brief skin contact maceration, the fermentation is interrupted by chilling to leave the desired residual sugar. The heady aroma is reminiscent of roses, cloves and orange peel and is quite unlike any other dessert wine.
