Halt, everyone. What we are proposing here is certainly not the 'usual white from the territory'. What we propose here, if anything, is a real oenological gem. A golden treasure from Liguria. Riviera Ligure di Ponente DOC, SanSteva's Moscatello di Taggia comes from an area with a vocation for viticulture, where the climate is mild and breezy. Moscatello di Taggia, an indigenous grape variety of western Liguria, has been cultivated on these lands for centuries. The carefully selected bunches are harvested by hand at the right degree of ripeness to preserve the freshness and varietal aromas. Vinification in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, followed by six months of ageing in steel. The wine then rests for a further two months in the bottle, refining and acquiring complexity. Straw yellow colour with golden reflections. The nose offers an explosion of intense aromas typical of Muscat: white flowers such as jasmine and orange blossom, citrus fruits such as lime and cedar, fresh fruit such as peach and apricot, combined with delicate notes of honey and vanilla. On the palate, the wine conquers with its softness balanced by a lively freshness, a persistent minerality and a long, satisfying finish.
We are in the heart of western Liguria. Here, sea, land and sea breeze are the characteristic elements of the small local wine production. This is where we find Tenute MFR, a fascinating reality born from the meeting of two wineries: SanSteva and Poggio dei Gorleri. The former, located in the municipality of Santo Stefano al Mare, has a special focus on the native grape varieties of the Province of Imperia, with Moscatello di Taggia as its flagship wine. Poggio dei Gorleri, on the other hand, was founded in 2003, when the Merano family decided to take over a beautiful estate. In little more than twenty years, this winery has managed to win the acclaim of critics and enthusiasts alike thanks to its authentic wines, a faithful expression of the Ligurian terroir. Pigato and Vermentino reign supreme in the estate's vineyards, cradled by a privileged position and caressed by the sea breeze.
