Moscato Giallo Dolce 2023 Cantina Pisoni

Moscato Giallo, a member of the rich Moscato family, probably originated in the Eastern Mediterranean and arrived in Italy thanks to the trade of Venetian merchants. Different from Moscato Bianco and Moscato di Alessandria, Moscato Giallo is mainly found in the regions of Trentino Alto Adige, where it is called Goldmuskateller. An early-ripening variety, it is a fresh and fragrant wine, typical of the Trentino tradition, with an unmistakable aroma balanced by a fragrant flavour and a delicate sweetness. Cultivated according to the Guyot training system, it is grown on the silty-sandy soils of the Cesura estate, owned by the Pisoni family. The grapes are harvested by hand, with a yield that never exceeds 100 quintals per hectare, and are then carefully vinified. After destemming and soft pressing, fermentation is stopped at a controlled temperature with selected yeasts using tank cooling to maintain a residual sugar content of around 27 g/l. The wine matures for 6 months in stainless steel tanks. Slightly sweet and pleasant, this is a version of the yellow Muscat that is perfect at the end of a meal. It elegantly accompanies dry pastries or festive desserts.
