WINE MAKING PROCESS
The winemaking process for Moscato d'Asti La Gatta begins with a gentle pressing of the Moscato Bianco grapes. The resulting must is kept at a low temperature to preserve its freshness and aromatic qualities. A second fermentation is carried out in an autoclave, a pressurized tank, which captures the carbon dioxide to create the wine's signature gentle sparkle and retain its fragrant profile. Following fermentation, the wine is typically aged in stainless steel tanks to maintain its vibrant character.
