A traditional variety finds a unique expression in this wine. The particular terroir, characterized by soil of Miocene origin, marked by sandy and clayey soils, gives Dolcetto great complexity, freshness and finesse .

CLIMATE:

The 2021 vintage began with a mild winter, albeit rich in precipitation, including snow, which ensured excellent water supply in the soil. The vegetative recovery was regular, with light and limited frosts during mid-April which caused a reduction in production but did not affect the quality of the harvest. Spring began a long period of good weather that continued throughout the summer, where temperatures were recorded without excesses, in line with the averages for the period, with some thunderstorms between June and July. The excellent temperature ranges during the harvest period allowed the grapes to reach an excellent state of ripeness and a good balance in terms of sugar, freshness and polyphenolic content. The harvest began on September 8th and ended on the 23rd of the same month.

VINIFICATION AND REFINING:

Upon arrival at the cellar, the grapes were destemmed and crushed. Fermentation took place over 6 days at a maximum temperature of 27-28 °C. Malolactic fermentation was completed before winter. After a refinement period of approximately 6 months, the wine was bottled.

TASTING NOTES:

Mosesco has a ruby ​​red color with purple reflections. On the nose it is vinous, with fresh hints of violet and cherry. On the palate it is full, balanced, with excellent typicality and an elegant almond finish.
