A clear mission for Cascina Ghercina winery

Cascina Ghercina was founded in 1871, and throughout the generations, a clear mission has been maintained: to cultivate only their own vineyards and prioritize quality. In 2002, the family acquired eight additional hectares of vineyards, situated on southwestern slopes in the heart of the Barolo region. These vineyards are 360 meters above sea level, and the Ghercina River flows between the vines, creating an exclusive microclimate. They also built a 5,000-square-meter cellar, partially underground, increasing storage capacity to over 15,000 hectoliters. The estate also has vineyards in the Langhe, Alba, Roero, Asti, Monferrato, and Gavi. One of the most important Moscato vines is Mascato Bianco, which thrives in Piedmont, particularly on the hills of Monferrato. This white grape is considered aromatic and is therefore used in the production of sweet wines, thanks to the sweetness developed during the ripening process. It is also excellent for sparkling wines or as a base for fortified wines.

The harvest and flavors of Moscato d'Asti

After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and cold macerated. The alcohol is stored at a controlled temperature of 0-4°C until fermentation in a pressure tank before bottling. The golden color and pronounced aromas of orange blossom, peach, and lime are enhanced by the fragrance and notes of acacia honey that linger on the palate. This wine pairs wonderfully with fresh pastries, tiramisu, and gelato. Almost any dessert is a perfect match for Moscato d'Asti.
