Vintage 2024
The year 2024 will be remembered as one of the rainiest in recent years. Following a mild winter with good water reserves, spring saw rapid vegetation growth. The rest of the season was characterized by abundant rainfall and balanced temperatures. The harvest took place in more traditional times and was interrupted by heavy rains, requiring special attention for the later-ripening grapes. Our harvest began on August 19 with Alta Langa and concluded on October 13 with Nebbiolo grapes for Barolo.

Winemaking Information
PRE-FERMENTATION PROCEDURES: Grape bunches are hand-sorted on a vibrating table and chilled with carbonic snow to avoid oxidation and reduce considerably the use of sulphur and softly pressed.
This process is “100% screw conveyor free” to handle grapes as gently as possible.
FERMENTATION PROCESS: The fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature and interrupted in order to keep natural sugar and grape aromas. The second fermentation in autoclave allows the wine to become pleasantly fizzy.
The difference is...
ERIANTHE MOSCATO D’ASTI keeps the whole amazing set of unmistakable aromas provided by the grapes.
Thanks to the low alcohol content this delightful fizzy wine is pleasantly easy to drink and particularly enjoyable as summer refreshing beverage.
