// 100% Moscato Bianco
"Intensely straw-yellow with golden reflections. On the nose, it exhibits breadth, complexity, and great finesse, thanks to fruity notes of yellow peach and apricot, acacia, and sage. The sweetness plays with acidity, and the carbonation releases creamy and persistent bubbles. The long and intense finish contributes to making it a sought-after product, capable of supporting unusual and savory gastronomic pairings." - Ca d'Gal, Winemaker
"This wine is simply a revelation. It’s drawn from a single hectare of 70-year-old vines, some 10 kilometres from Boido’s winery in Cassinasco, on a south-facing hillside with limestone-rich soils. Cassinasco is one of only 19 villages (out of 52 in the Moscato DOCG) included in the newly ratified Canelli DOCG. Moscato fruit from this subzone surrounding Canelli has grown since the 13th century and has always been associated with greatness. It is in the heart of the region, where the chalky soils and high altitude are perfect for Moscato.
It’s a mould-breaking wine of cut-glass purity and restraint, with a fine chalky texture and mineral zeal. Expect notes of fresh florals, ripe citrus and lime leaf, joined by a slight minty tone and some ‘bath salt’ minerality. The palate is fine-boned with a gentle approach, building powerfully through the palate. Then there’s a lick of salty, chalky freshness, seamlessly integrated acidity and an intense, lengthy finish that places this beauty in a class of its own." - Bibendum, Importer
"Ripe apricots and peaches with citrus peel, honeysuckle and seashell undertones. Creamy and dense with fine bubbles and a supple, delicate texture. Sweet, but balanced. Drink now." - James Suckling (2022 vintage)
