About the producer
Voghera is a producer in the heart of Piedmont's Moscato country, where this grape has been grown for centuries.
About the year
The 2020 vintage brought warm conditions that ripened the Moscato fully, giving the wine good fruit concentration while keeping the freshness that makes this style so appealing.
Grape characteristics
Moscato is a naturally sweet grape that keeps its acidity even when ripe, so the wine feels fresh and lively rather than heavy. It makes wines with low alcohol and a delicate fizz.
About the region
Piedmont's cool hills in northwest Italy suit Moscato perfectly. The region's autumn mists and morning sun create the conditions for grapes that are both sweet and crisp.
Tasting profile
Expect aromas of ripe stone fruit, honey and orange blossom. The flavour is gently sweet with notes of peach and white flowers, balanced by a natural freshness that keeps it from feeling cloying.
Serving suggestions
Serve well chilled, around 6 to 8 degrees Celsius. Use a flute or small white wine glass to enjoy the bubbles and aromas. No decanting needed.
