WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Moscato d'Asti Bersano Monteolivo 2017 begins with the manual harvesting of select grape bunches. The must is then preserved at low temperatures before undergoing fermentation in autoclaves using the Martinotti method. This technique involves stopping the fermentation early to retain the grape's natural sweetness and achieve the wine's signature low alcohol and light effervescence. The wine is not aged, as it is intended for immediate consumption to highlight its freshness.
