Description
Moscato Passito DOC L'Altro Moscato Marchesi di Gresy
L'Altro Moscato by Marchesi di Gresy is a Moscato Passito DOC with a rich and enveloping profile, designed for those seeking a sweet meditation wine capable of uniting aromatic intensity, elegance, and depth. Made with 100% Moscato, it originates from carefully selected grapes in the La Serra estate, in the municipality of Cassine, in the province of Alessandria, and tells a mature and refined version of the grape variety, interpreted with sensitivity and winemaking care.
Territory and wine style
The production takes place in a hilly area facing south, at 380 meters above sea level, using only the rows in the upper part of the vineyard, considered the most suitable for this type. The territory of Cassine, in Alessandria, offers favorable conditions for a slow and complete ripening of the grapes, enhancing the Moscato's vocation for intensely aromatic wines. The style of L'Altro Moscato is that of a structured and complex passito, where the sweet component integrates with freshness and gustatory depth.
Tasting notes
In the glass, it presents a brilliant golden yellow of medium intensity. The bouquet is broad and intense, with pronounced notes of candied fruits, dried figs, citrus, dehydrated apricots, honey, and biscuit. On the palate, it is full, rich, and complex, with a pleasant persistence and a well-balanced equilibrium between structure and acidity. The sweetness is enveloping but not excessive, supported by a good tension that keeps the sip harmonious and clean until the finish.
Recommended pairings
L'Altro Moscato pairs excellently with dry pastries, baked goods, and preparations based on dried or candied fruit. Its aromatic richness also makes it suitable with fermented and aged cheeses, while with certain pâtés it can offer an interesting and very gastronomic contrast. It is a versatile wine for dessert occasions, but it also stands out as a refined choice to conclude an important dinner.
Serving temperature
Serve L'Altro Moscato at a temperature of 10-12°C to enhance its aromas, softness, and balance. It does not require particular oxygenation: just open it shortly before serving to fully appreciate its aromatic intensity.
