Tropical Grapefruit Moscato

Overview

This Moscato comes from a grape variety that has probably the highest level of complex aromas of any Piedmont grape. The wine has the distinctive Moscato aroma and flavor, with added complexity from the addition of the real grapefruit from Sicily.

Wine Facts


VITICULTURE: The Moscato grapes for this wine come from vineyards located in Santo Stefano Belbo villages, at 200 to 300 feet above sea level.

VINIFICATION:
Vinification is via autoclave, according to the Charmat Method, until it reaches 5.0% alcohol. Then, wine undergoes cold fermentation and aging in stainless steel vats for one month, after which time it is blended with the real natural grapefruit from Sicily and then bottled.

SERVING HINTS: Tropical Grapefruit Moscato is delicious when enjoyed on its own. It also makes an excellent addition to craft cocktail recipes.

FAMILY: Where Italy meets the Tropics—flows Tropical Moscato, a sparkling wine made from premium Moscato from Piedmont, Italy. The wines are infused with 100% real fruit in every bottle; real passion fruit and mango from Brazil, Italian white peaches, cranberries, strawberries and blueberries from the Italian Alps, grapefruit and limes from Sicily and ginger from Vietnam. Tropical’s second line, Tropical Lux Mango and Passion Fruit Moscato, is only 90 calories with 5.5% alcohol. There are never any artificial ingredients or added sugar.

Tropical Moscato is the brainchild of Italian winemaker Luca Bosio. Charismatic and dynamic, Luca is the third generation of his family to tend to the approximately 60 acres of gently sloping hillsides of Italy’s Northeastern Piedmont region. Luca’s Masters of Oenology education enabled him to utilize technological innovations such as the development and use of native yeasts and decreasing the use of chemical additives like sulphur dioxide. He also created new techniques to preserve the aroma and structure of Moscato.
