Winemaking Notes The grapes are handpicked in small baskets late August and are gently pressed as whole clusters. After a settling of 24 hours, the juice is inoculated with selected Champagne yeast and ferments in stainless steel tanks at low temperature. Once the fermentation is over, the wine ages on the fine lees until the spring of the following year. The blend is then put together and cold-stabilized prior to bottling. The bottling occurs in the spring when the cellar temperature is conducive to a second fermentation in the bottle. The now sparkling wine will age on the yeast for over 24 months. At disgorging, a small amount of dosage liquor is added in order to balance the natural acidity.
Clean, crisp and refreshing! With scents of white flowers, apples and pears. This sparkling wine is elegant and complex with vibrant aromas, and fine active streamers. The depth of complexity is elegant and the intricate nuances of the terroir fill the nose and stimulate the palate. It’s full of youthful, bright and alert acidity.
All older vintage wines have been purchased from a single collectors cellar. Pictures can be requested before shipment.

Product Description
Cascina Castle T Moscato d' Asti 2012 is made from 100% Moscato d'Asti
Vinification: the grapes are soft pressed and the free run juice is placed in stainless steel tanks where it is allowed to settle (sedimentation) and then passed through a centrifuge. The fined must is then passed through a filter of diatomaceous earth and placed in autoclaves of stainless steel. Specially selected yeast are added and fermentation is controlled at 17 degrees. There is no malolactic fermentation and the wine is held in the tanks at 0 degree. At the time of bottling the temperature is raised again to 17 degrees, and when the ideal balance between sugar and acidity is reached and the desired atmospheric pressure is obtained, 2 atmospheres of pressure (usually 2 weeks), the wine is cooled to block further fermentation and again filtered. It is then bottled. Only 5.5% of alcohol.
Bright pale yellow color filled with golden and apricot reflections.
Seductive bouquet rich in orange blossoms, peaches and apricots intertwined with hints of tropical fruits and honey.
Ligthly frizzante due to the naturally retained CO2 with sweet soft velvety fruit on the palate and a refreshingly dry and lingering finish. This is a unique wine of extraordinary delicacy and finesse.
Robert Parker says "this tropical fruit bomb of an aperitif wine defines the words 'seduction' and 'delicious'. "
Food pairing: brunch wine excellent with ice cream, fruits, salads.

Winemaking: This wine is a classic Bordeaux blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Malbec, 8% Merlot, 2% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot.
. The 2010 growing season was moderate, thus promoting slow ripening and full flavor development. We hand-harvested and fermented each variety separately, then moved the wines to barrel, where they aged twelve months. Once we determined our blend, we returned the wine to barrel for an additional twelve months, to 'marry' the varietals. We used tight-grained French oak barrels (45% new) from coopers Taransaud, Vicard and Bossuet.
Winemaker Notes:
Complex, rich aromas foretell rich flavors of black currants, allspice and a hint of clove. The wine is full bodied, with velvety texture, smooth tannins and an extensive finish. Beautifully balanced, this Cabernet will age for ten more years.
Alcohol: 14.25 percent by volume
Review:
"Savory, dried red capsicum with cedar, cocoa powder and dried mushrooms on top of black cherries. Juicy and layered with some currants and savory earthy spices on the palate. Not quite deep, but a very elegant and savory expression of cabernet with a very long, subtle finish. A little sweet-sour, but quite refined and approachable, too. Drink now."
