NV Tosti Asti
BEST BUY, 88 points
"Floral scents of peach blossoms and litchis fill out this clean moscato. It's more vinous than grapey, with restrained sweetness. Serve with fresh fruit and nuts at the end of a meal." Wine & Spirits Magazine December 2011

Vineyard & Winemaking Notes
The grapes are hand harvest from throughout the asti region from over 9,120 hectares. Upon arriving at the winery, each crate is weighed by an official from the Regional Council to make sure they meet the DOCG standards. After approval the grapes are sorted de-stemmed, pressed and the must separated from the seeds and stems then transferred into pressurized stainless steel tanks for fermentation. when the fermentation reaches the established regulations, the fermentation is stopped by cooling the wine down to 32 degrees Fahrenheit leaving a touch of residual sugar. After a month of aging in the tanks, the wine is sent for final inspection to a committee of experts of the Chamber of Commerce organized by the Protection Consortia for approval. Once granted the wine is bottled.
