Ca d' Gal, a revered producer in the Asti region of Piedmont, presents its 2022 Lumine Moscato d'Asti DOCG. This expression exemplifies the quintessential characteristics of Moscato Bianco from the region's calcareous marl soils, renowned for imparting a distinct aromatic intensity. The winemaking philosophy here prioritises the preservation of the grape's inherent perfume and vibrant freshness. Fermentation is carefully arrested to maintain a naturally low alcohol content and a delicate sweetness, resulting in a frizzante style that is both approachable and sophisticated. Lumine offers a pure and unadulterated reflection of its varietal and terroir, making it a benchmark for the appellation.
Tasting notes
The 2022 Lumine displays a pale straw hue with fine, persistent perlage. The aromatic profile is immediately engaging, offering a bouquet of orange blossom, ripe peach, and sage, underscored by a subtle minerality. On the palate, it is exquisitely balanced, with a gentle sweetness harmonised by a refreshing acidity. Flavours of apricot, honeysuckle, and a hint of citrus zest unfold gracefully, leading to a clean, vibrant finish that invites another sip. This Moscato d'Asti is a testament to elegance and aromatic purity.
