Vineyard of production:
The vineyards that give rise to the Moscaminer are three, of which two under Traminer Aromatico and one under Moscato Bianco and Giallo. They form part of La Nascosta Estate, in the heart of the Val d’Orcia. The three vineyards cover an area of about 1.6 ha, at an altitude varying between 410 and 430 meters. They are characterized by clayey-marnoscistic soils, interspersed with clay and galestri that tend to flake off in small and thin foils with colors ranging from deep red to gray. The characteristics of the soils and the techniques of precision used to achieve the highest quality result in low yields, of between 50 and 60 quintals per hectare.
Vinification and Aging:
DISCOVER THE OTHER WINES:
The Moscaminer takes its name from the combination of Moscato and Traminer, its vines of origin. The timing of the grape harvest depends on when they achieve their optimal ripeness and therefore can vary slightly from year to year. The grapes from each vineyard are harvested separately and immediately cooled to 8°C (46.4°F). They are then processed at low temperatures in order to preserve all the varietal aromas. The microvinifications of the grapes take place separately in steel. After the alcoholic fermentation, the masses of the two varieties are jointly combined and then undergo a period of refinement, again in steel, of about nine months during which batonnages are performed on a weekly basis. To achieve its optimal refinement, the wine is allowed to rest in bottle for another five months at least, at controlled temperature and humidity and in the absence of light.
