Ezio’s Moscato begins fermentation in concrete, before being put into bottle with some grape must he has kept aside since the harvest. The wine is refermented in bottle and there is no disgorgement, making for a vibrant col fondo with gorgeous aromatics, gentle bubbles and dry, chalky finish.
About the producer:
Principally, Ezio works with just one grape. His Moscato vines are up to 60 years old and planted on steep slopes about 400 metres above sea level. Unusually for the area, they are worked organically with long grass and wildflowers between the rows. In the cellar Ezio is a perfectionist, an introverted guy who is happiest growing grapes, making wine and doing things the right way.
