Late Harvest “Mesicaseu”

14,00 

“Mesicaseu” in the Asti dialect means “I, what do I know!”: what my grandmother used to answer when asked for her opinion on this wine.
An elegant and delicate sweet wine, Mesicaseu reflects all the complexity of the steps necessary, in the vineyard and in the cellar, to obtain it: from the cutting of the vines before the harvest to favor drying to the careful selection of the grapes to be pressed.
Serving temperature: 9-11°C.
Actual alcohol: 13.3-14.2 % vol.

Description

Tasting Notes

The wine is characterized by moss and sage hues as well as by the typical palatal persistence of Canelli’s Muscats. Scents of orange blossom, golden apples, pears, bananas and tropical fruits.
Thanks to late bottling, it remains fresh and fragrant for long, with a positive development of the bouquet throughout the first year.
A perfect match for biscuits, non-creamy pastry and fruit, it combines unexpectedly but successfully with long-fermented cheeses, patés and rich foods.
Serving temperature: 9-11°C.
Actual alcohol: 13.3-14.2 % vol.

Vineyards

A blend of Moscato bianco Canelli and Chardonnay partially dried grapes coming from our estate vineyards.
The grapes are highly aromatic, and are characterized by a sugar content of between 27 and 30%, low malic acidity and initial botrytization.

Harvest & winemaking

Grape-picking begins between October 20th and October 30th.
After membrane pressing, the juice ferments for 120 days in stainless steel at low temperature and later is stored at low temperature on the lees and bottled.
