The climate there features mild winters and warm summers with sufficient temperature differences between day and night. These natural conditions promote the development of the typical muscat aromas. Soils with portions of clay, limestone and partly stony subsoil provide a good balance of nutrients and drainage. This allows the vines to develop concentrated, aroma-rich grapes. The Moscato grape naturally brings an intense bouquet. It is responsible for the grapey, floral and fruity notes that define this wine. The winemakers at Bottega pay attention to a harvest time that ensures ripe aromas while preserving freshness. The harvest is selective, so that only aromatic berries make it to the cellar.

A period of aging on the fine lees rounds out the texture and gives the wine a soft, creamy feel. Distilleria Bottega stands for meticulous work and a clear stylistic signature. The focus is on aromatic intensity, purity and elegance. Every stage, from harvest to bottling, aims to bring the character traits of the Mos...
