Description
Moscato Passito Oro La Spinetta is a high-quality sweet wine produced by the renowned winery La Spinetta, located in the heart of Piedmont, an Italian region famous for its rich winemaking tradition. This wine is made exclusively from Moscato grapes, an aromatic variety that finds ideal conditions in Piedmont to express itself at its best. The vineyards from which the grapes for Moscato Passito Oro La Spinetta are sourced are located in the municipality of Castagnole delle Lanze, in a hilly area with southwest exposure. The soil is of marly-limestone origin, with the presence of sand and clay, characteristics that contribute to the wine's aromatic complexity and structure. The production of Moscato Passito Oro La Spinetta involves a late harvest, when the grapes have reached a high degree of ripeness. The grapes are then dried on racks for about 2-3 months to concentrate the sugars and aromas. This is followed by fermentation in French oak barriques, where the wine remains for at least 12 months. After bottling, the wine further matures in the bottle for at least 6 months before being marketed. Moscato Passito Oro La Spinetta presents an intense golden yellow color. On the nose, it offers a rich and complex bouquet, with notes of ripe fruit, honey, wildflowers, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is sweet, warm, and enveloping, with good acidity that balances the sweetness and a long, persistent finish. This wine is perfect for accompanying fruit-based desserts or dry pastries, but it can also be enjoyed as a meditation wine. Thanks to its structure and complexity, it can also be paired with blue cheeses or foie gras-based dishes. Pairings: Moscato Passito Oro La Spinetta is a sweet, rich, and aromatic wine, perfect for accompanying a variety of sweet and savory dishes. Starting with desserts: this wine pairs beautifully with fruit-based desserts, such as peach or apricot tarts, thanks to its natural sweetness and balanced acidity. It is also an excellent match for spoon desserts, like tiramisu or panna cotta, where its richness can balance the creaminess of these desserts. Moving on to cheeses, Moscato Passito Oro La Spinetta can be an excellent pairing for blue cheeses, such as gorgonzola or roquefort. The sweetness of the wine contrasts with the strong and salty flavor of these cheeses, creating a balance of flavors. Finally, let's not forget the savory pairings. This wine can be a great companion for foie gras or pate-based dishes, where its sweetness can balance the richness of these dishes. Additionally, it can be an interesting pairing for fish-based dishes, such as smoked salmon, thanks to its acidity that can cut through the fat of the fish. Remember, these are just suggestions. Pairing food with wine is very personal and depends on individual tastes. So, experiment and find the pairings you like best.
