Marco e Vittorio Adriano, Moscato d'Asti 2023

White Moscato grapes are soft-pressed immediately following the harvest to extract the free-run must. Fermentation is carried out in pressure tanks at 15-16 ° C until alcohol by volume reaches 4-5% and approximately 2 bars of pressure. The wine is cooled to 0 ° C to halt fermentation. The wine is then filtered and ready for bottling

The Adrianos have 27 hectares of vines, as well as some of the very best hazel trees in Piemonte, which produce unbelievably delicious hazelnuts! Grazia and her daughter Michela look after sales and marketing and Luciana runs the office, whilst Marco tends the vines and Vittorio oversees the cellars.

Their vineyards are mainly parcelled around San Rocco, but they have 7 ha in the commune of Neive, a single, vertiginously steep, plot in the cru Basarin, which Grazia brought into the family when she married Vittorio. SE facing, at 300 masl and a 45% incline. The average age of the vines here is about 15 years, and the soil is grey volcanic marl.
