Tasting Notes: Vittorio Bera Moscato d'Asti is famed for light, sweet profile, delicate bubbles and low (5%) abv. Try this with a pannetone or simply by itself, truly a delight.
Estate History: The Vittoria Bera estate dates back to 1785, when the Bera's ancestors originally purchased some of the land from the Knights of Malta. By this time, the cultivation of grapes, and in this area particularly Moscato grapes, was already well-established since the 13th century. This was the first estate to bottle and market its' own wine in the Canelli region. The estate lies in Sant’Antonio di Canelli, within the region of Serra Masio, the most prestigious and ancient of the area’s Moscato production. The grapes are entirely Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains (aka Moscato) and are cultivated on steep, southeast slopes of calcerous marl of ancient oceanic origins. All of the estate is cultivated in organic viticulture with an emphasis on creating an active, healthy ecosystem. All grapes are harvested by hand and their juice is fermented without yeast inoculations. All the winemaking is done by Alessandra's brother, Gian Luigi.
