	Wine specs:
Growing location: Neive, Barbaresco  wine-growing area, Langhe, Piedmont, Italy.

Classification: D.O.C.G. Sweet White 
Grape-variety: 100% Moscato 
Harvest: the first week of September 
Yield: 6 tons/ha 
Vinification: moscato is the first  variety to be picked here, and the grapes are pressed softly to help extract  the aromas from the skins into the free-run juice, which is then separated from  the lees by natural settling. The fermentation at a low temperature is  interrupted by chilling until the sugars have been partially transformed into  alcohol, at around 4.5%. It is then filtered and stabilized, taking special  care not to lose the natural CO2 in the wine.  
Ageing: after bottling in November,  it stays for 15-18 days in the bottle until 20 December, when it becomes one of  the first wines to be released on the market.
