Moscato d' Asti Canelli Pietro Forno is an explosively aromatic Moscato d’ Asti, from the historic Forno family (that is responsible for the famous Tenuta Il Falchetto winery). The Forno family started making Moscato d’ Asti in 1940 and knows very well how to do it!
The Forno Family has a long history in the Santo Stefano Belbo area, dating back several centuries (from the 17th century). It all started in 1940 when Pietro Forno started producing Moscato. Today, at the helm of the winery is the 4th generation of the Forno family. The members of the family are oenologists and viticulturists and their undivided attention from the vineyard to the bottle is reflected in their wines. At the same time, Canelli is a village steeped in history, as it was here that the first sparkling Moscato was produced in 1865, while the town’s legendary underground cellars have since been recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The “triangle” formed by Castiglione Tinella, Canelli and Santo Stefano Belbo is still regarded as the birthplace of Piedmont’s finest Moscato wines, yielding wines of unparalleled aromatic intensity, finesse and character.
For Moscato d' Asti Canelli Pietro Forno the Muscat is harvested by hand and then fermented in closed tanks, to trap the delicate bubbles in the wine. In the end, the fermentation stops leaving a lot of residual sugars. The result is aromatic, with balanced sweetness and elegant mousse!
Moscato d' Asti Canelli Pietro Forno is one of the best samples of its kind, at the best price!
