Moncucco Moscato D'Asti DOCG 2022 Winery FontanaFredda

Moscato d'Asti DOCG "Moncucco" - Cantine Fontanafredda

Explore the winemaking mastery of Cantine Fontanafredda with their Moscato d'Asti DOCG "Moncucco", a wine that conveys the pure essence of the white Moscato grape. This wine is a distillate of art and science, born in the historic lands of S. Stefano Belbo, the beating heart of Piedmontese viticulture.

Unique Terroir and Precision Viticulture

The white Moscato vines are rooted in a soil that is a geological masterpiece: rich in calcareous marl and characterized by a highly alkaline pH. This soil, located at an altitude of 300-400m above sea level, gives the wine mineral notes and a unique structure. The southern exposure of the vineyards guarantees an ideal microclimate, where the grapes can ripen under the soft embrace of the morning sun.

Innovation in Winemaking

The vinification of Moscato "Moncucco" is an example of balance between tradition and innovation. The preliminary cryomaceration at 5°C for 12 hours enhances the primary aromas of the fruit, while a soft and controlled pressing guarantees the extraction of a superior quality free-run must. The fermentation, managed at 18 °C, allows the freshness and liveliness of the aromas to be preserved, stopping when the wine reaches an alcohol content of 5.5%.

Innovative Refinement

The refinement in steel at 0 °C represents an unconventional choice that enhances the purity and integrity of Moscato. This maturation process in a cryogenic environment allows the wine to develop aromatic complexity without altering its natural exuberance.

Aromatic and Taste Expression

On the nose, "Moncucco" offers an olfactory bouquet that enchants: from notes of ripe pear to white peach, from floral essences of robinia and lime to nuances of honey and citrus, each sip is a journey through a flower garden. In the mouth, density and fullness are balanced by a lively acidic freshness and a light petillant that dances on the tongue, culminating in a long and memorable aromatic persistence.

With its low alcohol content of 5.5% and recommended to be served at 8-10°C, the Moscato d'Asti "Moncucco" from the Cellars Fontanafredda is the emblem of joy and elegance. Ideal to accompany refined desserts or to be enjoyed as an aperitif, this wine is an invitation to celebrate the special moments of life with a glass that contains the sun and land of Piedmont.
