Its bouquet is broad and persistent, with refreshing notes of citrus, mint and sage that give way to acacia honey and complex \u003cstrong\u003epetroleum-like nuances\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it is dense, with a \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced sweetness\u003c\/strong\u003e that blends perfectly with the grape’s natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Moscato d’Asti originates in Valdivilla, from a selected vineyard at four hundred metres above sea level. The roots of these \u003cstrong\u003ehistoric vines\u003c\/strong\u003e penetrate \u003cstrong\u003etertiary soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, formed from ancient marine sedimentation. The hilly terrain, crumbly and rich in limestone, white marl and blue clay, enjoys an ideal southern exposure. The \u003cstrong\u003ecool temperate climate\u003c\/strong\u003e, with its harsh winters and dry summers, allows the grape’s great aromatic intensity to develop slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-harvested in autumn, waiting for a \u003cstrong\u003eslight over-ripening\u003c\/strong\u003e to concentrate their aromas. After gentle pressing, the must ferments in a pressurised tank at a controlled temperature to achieve a fine perlage, maturing on selected yeasts. Production continues with sterile filtration and a distinctive \u003cstrong\u003erefinement in river sand\u003c\/strong\u003e. The long rest in a dark, humid and protected environment gives the wine a \u003cstrong\u003estructured longevity\u003c\/strong\u003e and a fascinating evolution over time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1989 in Valdivilla, in the heart of the Langhe, the Ca’ d’Gal project blends tradition and artistry thanks to the vision of oenologist Alessandro Boido.

The extraordinary evolution of the 2018 vintage is the result of exclusive \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in river sand\u003c\/strong\u003e for 60 months, a traditional technique that gives this \u003cstrong\u003eMoscato d’Asti DOCG\u003c\/strong\u003e unrivalled longevity, enhancing its balanced sweetness and aromatic richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ca d'Gal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44989774823595,"sku":"56024","price":63.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/ca-d-gal-vite-vecchia-2018_56024_1_c86a7162-ec02-470d-8257-527242a73a64.webp?v=1773763761","url":"https:\/\/xtriwine.com\/en-fi\/products\/ca-dgal-vite-vecchia-2018","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
