Moscato

Filter

Moscato or Muscat Blanc is a signature white wine grape variety of Italy. The grape variety is desired by both expert wine drinkers and fresh wine enthusiasts because of its light and crisp nature. Moscato is light bodied wine recognized for its bubbly texture and floral and perfume like flavors. The wine is typically termed “Moscato” but if it is grown in the region of Piedmont, the wine is labeled “Moscato d’Asti”, which represents the town of Asti. Moscato d’Asti wines are typically created in small batches and are related to Asti Spumante, a grape variety found in Piedmont. Moscato grapes tend to produce a golden yellow colored juice and include beautiful aromas of ginger, honeysuckle, orange blossom, and powerful fruit flavors that include citrus fruits and ripe peach. Moscato wine boasts of strong and sweet fruit flavors, which makes it the perfect companion for salads, summer fruits, peach cobbler, or cakes. The wine is often served with desserts, but it pairs nicely with some cheeses or antipasto dishes. Moscato wine is best when it is consumed young, and is available at reasonable prices. This delectable wine is sure to delight all food enthusiasts.

Toso Asti Spumante is made from Moscato grapes grown on hills in the South of Piedmont An early picking insures a higher acidity and a more floral bouquet. The grapes are crushed immediately to avoid any oxidation which might detract from the wine's aromas. The grapes are gently crushed and the juice is settled, centrifuged and filtered. The purified musts are placed in stainless steel tanks and held at near freezing temperatures which blocks completely any fermentation. This enables the producers to draw batches of fresh must whenever they decide to bottle. The batch of must is then inoculated with special yeast and fermented in an autoclave to retain the naturally produced carbon dioxide. The fermentation is stopped by a rapid chilling when the wine reaches the desired ratio of alcohol (standardly 7%) to residual sugar ( 3-5% ). The wine is then filtered, bottled and, at Toso, immediately shipped to ensure the freshest product possible.
