From the "Alta Vallagarina", Moscato Giallo is the white wine par
excellence.
Grown in an area around the hill of Castel Beseno where it finds an
ideal habitat because of the remarkable temperature range between day and
night.
A mild climate and medium solar radiations during the day are beneficial
to its ripening. All this allows to keep and increase the value of a vast
range of fragrances that are typical of this white berry varietal.
"Castel Beseno" is our enological interpretation of Moscato grapes,
partially dried in the vineyard and partially in the cellar for one month.
The Moscato Giallo grapes are grown in the middle hill where of Castel
Beseno, in the municipal territory of Besenello. They are picked after an
accurate selection of ‘’aromatic ripening’’ that is after a slight
overripening in plants.
This is produced through a cold 24-hour steeping followed by a soft grape
pressing.
The winemaking "in white" at low temperatures guarantees a proper extraction
and long aromatic persistance.
It is then refined in steel for about 5
months to be finally bottled and ready to be
consumed.
The colour is intense straw yellow with golden tints and the perfume is
intensily aromatic slightly nosing Golden apple and ripe pears, delicate and
fragrant.
Unique in its kind, it is sweet, full bodied, harmonious and well balanced
round the palate.
A good aperitif, its sweetness magnifies both simple and elaborate
confectionery.
For a full taste, this wine should be served at a temperature of about 8°C.
