This wine is made from Moscato grapes grown in the Noto appellation, which is known for its limestone soils and warm climate. The vineyards are located at an altitude, which provides ideal conditions for the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the grapes, followed by a gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine is a light-bodied, aromatic and refreshing wine with notes of peach, apricot, and orange blossom. It is a perfect wine to enjoy on its own or paired with light desserts.
