DOLCETTO d'ASTI DOC Casa
Brina |
| Grapes: | Moscato Bianco di Canelli 100%. |
| Vinification: | fermentation is carried out at increasing temperatures to ensure optimum polymerisation of tannins and colour extraction during on-skin maceration. Maturation takes place in stainless steel tanks where malolactic fermentation enhances the bouquet and the variety's famous softness. |
| Tasting notes: | limpid, deeply coloured with typical violet reflections. Vibrant fruitiness reminiscent of both Gamay and Merlot; clean, well-defined, and very drinkable; attractive balance of softness and acidity, well-supported by alcohol that gives it good length at the same time. |
| Alcohol: | 12,66% vol. |
| Extract: |
25 gm/l. |
| pH: |
3,45. |
| Total acidity: | 5,3 gm/l. |
| Maturation cycle: | bottling takes place in late winter and is followed by a few months' bottle-ageing before release onto the market; the point of optimum fragrance comes in the Summer and quality is maintained for the following two years at last. |
