Grape variety: Moscato

Description
Freshness, aromaticity, and a fine perlage: this is Moscato d'Asti from La Morandina. A sweet white wine, pale in color—yellow with green highlights—with a fragrant and fresh nose, offering notes of orange blossom, lychee, gardenia, and aromatic herbs such as lemon balm.
On the palate, it sparkles smoothly with light acidity, fresh and savory with a mentholated and sage-like aftertaste.

The Morando family has deep roots in Castiglione Tinella, dating back to 1780; The philosophy that guides Giulio and Paolo Morando is one of total respect for the environment, with the rejection of chemicals in the vineyard and the installation of a modern photovoltaic system that generates almost 50% of the electricity.
