Moscato Rosa Schweizer - 2022 - 0.38 lt. - Winery Franz Haas

PRODUCTION AREA AND ITS CHARACTERISTICS: Moscato rosa grapes are grown in the municipality of Egna, in a particularly windy area with an elevation of 250 meters. Wind is fundamental to avoid humidity stagnation which might trigger the onset of botrytis (bunch rot). Botrytis would destroy some of the aromatic components and would decrease colour intensity. The vineyard has a southern exposure and the soil is a mixture of porphyric sand, clay and limestone.

VINIFICATION METHODS: Our moscato rosa is produced with skin contact maceration and a very short maceration period. At the end of the fermentation process, which is interrupted by chilling, the wine is transferred to stainless steel tanks where it will remain until ready for bottling.

MATURING AND BOTTLE AGEING: To fully develop the characteristics of moscato rosa, the wine must further mature in the bottle for at least 6 months.

DESCRIPTION: The heady aroma of moscato is reminiscent of roses, cloves and orange peel. On the palate, the wine is extremely complex and rounded.

FOOD PAIRINGS: Moscato rosa will beautifully complement the spicy foods of Oriental cuisine, but it is first of all an unusual aperitif and an outstanding meditation wine.

Allergic-Info: This wine can contain sulfites
