Moscato

Moscato Giallo was one of the first grape varieties chosen by Nonino for its exclusive cru line of grape brandy – and for good reason. This golden yellow variety of the Muscat family has an aromatic potential that comes to full fruition in the distillate. The grapes come from Besenello in the Lagrein Valley, the southern tip of Trentino, where the Vallagarina combines an Alpine climate with Mediterranean influences. Harvested at perfect ripeness and processed immediately, they undergo the ÙE method: the skin, pulp and juice are distilled together, slowly, in Benito's copper steam stills.

Oro – golden name, golden essence. This passito is a real masterpiece, with its bright amber colour and copper reflections, visually announcing its precious concentration and depth. The grapes (100% Moscato Bianco) undergo a deliberate drying process: Harvested late and stored dry until December before undergoing fermentation – including malolactic fermentation and maturation for 24 months in new barriques. A complex process during which the wine matures to a balsamic, honey-saturated elegance.
