La Gatta produced by Vite Colte is a Moscato from Asti DOCG made from White Moscato grapes, an aromatic Piedmontese variety that produces a sweet, light wine characterised by a delicate effervescence.
The grapes are grown on limestone-marl soils, in an environment particularly favourable to the ripening and development of the typical aromas of Moscato.After gentle pressing, the must obtained is kept at a low temperature until fermentation begins in a pressure tank.Bottling is carried out in such a way as to preserve some of the grapes’ natural sweetness, the wine’s low alcohol content and its aromatic liveliness.
The result is a fresh and fragrant Moscato, in which the sweetness is accompanied by a pleasant acidity and a subtle effervescence.
Alcohol content: 5% vol.
──────── IN THE GLASS ────────
• COLOUR: bright golden yellow.• NOSE: intense and aromatic, with hints of fresh fruit and orange blossom.• PALATE: sweet, smooth and harmonious, yet underpinned by a freshness that prevents it from feeling overly sugary.The gentle effervescence makes it light and pleasant to drink, whilst the characteristic aroma of Moscato grapes returns in the finish.
──────── PAIRINGS ────────
La Gatta pairs particularly well with dry pastries, biscuits, fruit tarts and desserts made with light creams.It can also be served with yeast-raised desserts such as panettone and pandoro, tarts, semifreddi and hazelnut-based creations.Its freshness allows it to be paired with sweet and aromatic desserts without making the pairing overly heavy.
──────── SERVING ────────
Serve well chilled, at a temperature of between 6 and 8 °C.To bring out its aromas and delicate effervescence, it is best served in a white wine glass or a tulip-shaped glass, avoiding excessively wide glasses.This wine is intended to be drunk young, when its freshness, fragrance and aromatic profile are most evident.
