Paolo Saracco Moscato D'asti 2025 750Ml "A benchmark example of what Paolo Saracco can achieve with this variety. For my money, this estate is the DRC of Moscato d’Asti." Ian D'Agata, Vinous "Paolo Saracco remains the reference point producer for Moscato d'Asti, with perhaps one or two close peers, and that is it. I have seen Saracco's vineyards, and they are great sites, but they aren't the only top Moscato vineyards, so I am perplexed why no one else can make wines at this level. But the truth remains that very few can, or are willing to make the sacrifices necessary to do so." Antonio Galloni, Vinous 100% Moscato Bianco Canelli from Castiglione Tinella, Santo Stefano Belbo, Castagnole Lanze and Calosso. After harvesting, the bunches are gently pressed to extract the most flavourful juice from the outermost part of the grapes. The must is kept in stainless steel containers at -3°C, where it can be kept for months. When there is market demand, it is then transferred into autoclaves for temperature-controlled fermentation, microfiltered for purity and then bottled to keep the freshness and flavours intact. White peaches kissed with fresh mint flowing through jasmine petals and wild thyme, each aromatic layer floating like summer memories. The palate dances with perfect balance, where ripe nectarines and elegant sweetness ride waves of vibrant acidity. This is Moscato d'Asti showing its truest self, where delicate bubbles and pristine fruit linger. 95 Points - Jeff Porter, The Wine Enthusiast "The 2025 Saracco Moscato d'Asti is an incredibly pristine, hyper-aromatic benchmark of the appellation. Paolo Saracco masterfully coaxes maximum tension out of the Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains grown in the limestone and sandy marl soils of Castiglione Tinella, entirely avoiding the heavy, cloying profile that plagues commercial examples. In the glass, it shows a pale straw-yellow with a bright greenish hue and a fine, persistent, creamy frizzante bead. The nose is extraordinarily lifted and perfumed, exploding with fresh white peaches, nectarines, orange blossoms, and jasmine petals, underscored by a classic savory twist of wild mint, sage, and fresh thyme. On the palate, the wine delivers a masterclass in balance: the natural, elegant sweetness of the grape is instantly corralled by a vibrant, racy acidic nerve. It feels remarkably weightless, clean, and light on its feet despite the residual sugar, finishing with great persistence, absolute primary fruit purity, and a mouth-watering, limestone-driven mineral lift. An effortlessly joyful white that excels at 6% ABV" KL Wines
