Moscato da Uve Stramature Vinicola Cicella

Vinicola Cicella’s Moscato from late-harvest grapes is produced only in vintages when weather conditions allow the "Moscato" grapes to dry naturally on the vine. It is a sweet wine to be enjoyed at the end of a meal alongside dessert, perfect for festive occasions. This Moscato offers a nose of ripe fruit and sweet spices; on the palate it is harmonious and well balanced, warm and delicate. 
The vineyards lie in the municipality of Torricella, near the winery, amid unspoilt nature and dry-stone walls, an integral and charming part of the surrounding landscape. The proximity of the sea creates a microclimate favourable to the vine, combined with medium-textured soils. The Moscato vines are Guyot-pruned, with the number of bunches per vine kept low to favour quality; yields are very low, limited to 50 quintals of grapes per hectare. The bunches are left to overripen on the vine, only when weather conditions allow, and are consequently harvested late, around the first ten days of September. 
In the winery, after destemming, the must ferments on its skins in stainless steel tanks. The wine then ages for 12 months in stainless steel tanks and rests in bottle indefinitely: this is a wine that is not afraid of time. In the glass, its bright golden colour is captivating and heralds an intriguing sensory experience. On the palate it is in perfect harmony between liveliness and warmth, enveloping, with a long finish. The nose is inviting, with intense aromas of ripe peach and delicate hints of vanilla blending into a satisfying aromatic embrace. This Moscato is perfect with almond paste sweets, selected cheeses, fragrant jams or quality honey.
