Tasting Notes:
This aromatic wine presents a golden straw color and fills the nose with its unmistakable fragrance, characteristic of Moscato grapes. On the palate, it delivers the sweet, mildly aromatic flavors of peach, almond butter, and orange blossoms. The finish is rounded with subtle hints of macaroons and honey, making it a truly delightful dessert wine.
Winemaking Process:
After being harvested in early to mid-September, the grapes are crushed, pressed, and the must is chilled at low temperatures. The must is then filtered and stored in refrigerated tanks at zero degrees to preserve the full fruitiness and aroma of the Moscato grapes. This careful process ensures that the wine retains its freshness and stability during shipping and storage.
Perfect For:
Piccole Gioie pairs perfectly with desserts, pastries, and fruit, making it an ideal choice for sweet treats. It can also be enjoyed on its own as an after-dinner delight or at any celebratory moment.
