Stelvin. This not a typical Moscato as it comes from outside the Asti zone. Rather it is drawn from 1.5 hectares of hand-harvested vines rooted in the calcareous soils of Serralunga d’Alba. The result is something altogether more savoury, mineral, complex and yet every bit as delicious as the more common examples. The 2015 is another racy, mineral release bursting with frothy chamomile, sage and tangy red apple aromas and flavours. It's a richer year so there is plenty of juicy sweetness yet it finishes dry, chalky, and super refreshing. Superb with desserts, it is also extremely seductive when served with mature, ripe cheeses.
