Moscato d'Asti, the good one. If we are looking for a good glass to end a lunch or dinner in style, this is the one for us. Moscato d'Asti DOCG Zagara by Marchesi di Barolo, is the result of a careful vinification in purity of the Moscato grapes harvested in particularly suitable vineyards. These are plots of land on the gentle hills of Asti, characterised by marl with sand rich in quartz and very fine silt. This is the secret of this interesting wine. A unique soil capable of bringing an abundance of trace elements to the grapes, guaranteeing a rich expression of the bouquet. The steep slopes also ensure perfect ripeness, without losing the natural freshness of the grapes. In the glass it reveals a fine and abundant perlage. A straw yellow colour with golden highlights, with intense, finely aromatic aromas. In particular, orange blossom, peach and apricot are recognisable. In the mouth, on the other hand, a sensation of perfect balance dominates, with the low alcohol content and acidity, never high, giving the wine a pleasant freshness. Sweet and aromatic, it goes well with simple desserts and in particular, for lovers of local combinations, with the classic hazelnut nougat.
Barolo, the extraordinary wine that the whole world envies us, was born just a few metres from the company headquarters. The historic cellars of Marchesi di Barolo are in fact located in the centre of Barolo, just a few steps away from the castle that was the home of the last Marchesi Falletti, the first ever to produce the noble red wine of kings. The Abbona family, the current owners of Marchesi di Barolo, ideally continue the work begun by the Fallettis, placing themselves as faithful interpreters of the traditional vines and their places. Never as in this case the saying "combining tradition and innovation" applies. The company works with the main vines of the Langhe, Roero and Monferrato, vinifying the most prestigious crus in purity, refining them and proposing them individually, to better exalt their different expressions. Knowledge of and respect for the different grape varieties and individual terroirs, combined with a vinification process that enhances their strengths. All this is Marchesi di Barolo.
