Moscato d'Asti 'Centive', Tenuta Olim Bauda, Piedmont, Italy

Tasting Note A classic straw colour, with an intense, aromatic bouquet of golden apple, pineapple and honey. Fresh and fragrant on the palate, where sweetness and acidity are beautifully balanced. A fine, gentle mousse gives a slightly creamy texture and an elegant, lingering finish. Grapes 100% Moscato How to Drink Serve well chilled with fruit salads, nuts or crème brûlée. Producer Information Tenuta Olim Bauda is a secluded family estate in the hills of Piedmont, found at the end of a long, winding drive off the busy Via Prata. It is run by siblings Dino, Diana and Gianni, who devote themselves to fresh, expressive Barbera d'Asti and pure, vibrant Gavi, made in the most delicate, low-intervention way. The estate works its vineyards organically, without chemical weedkillers. Production Information Farmed organically since 2019, with careful green harvesting and bunch selection so only perfectly ripe fruit is picked. The must spends a few hours on the skins at low temperature, then ferments slowly in small, chilled stainless steel tanks. Fermentation is stopped by cooling to keep the natural sweetness and gentle fizz, and the wine is bottled in November, two months after harvest. Just 5% ABV.
