Description
Borgo Maragliano’s 25 hectares of vineyard sit 450 metres above sea level, in the heart of Loazzolo on a natural terrace in the Langhe hills. In the spring a gentle sea breeze called the Marin crosses Loazzolo, tempering the night time temperatures, favouring the developing of the grapes’ perfumes. The wines are vinified and packaged by members of the Galliano family, who maintain a high respect for tradition but at the same time employ the most modern vinification techniques, methods and equipment. This Moscato d’Asti is the result of careful and meticulous labour, representing the highest expression of this distinctive territory and of its soil.
About this wine from the winery: “The name La Caliera has been chosen as a tribute to a lady whose home was on the outskirts of our vineyards and who played a treasured part in our lives. The memory of a warm, generous heart and a quiet, noble character is reflected in these old vineyards whose maturity produces a rape harvest rich with “suggestions”.
100% Moscato Bianco di Canelli. After harvesting, the ripe Moscato grapes undergo soft pressing. The product obtained is chilled to 0 °C to prevent fermentation. Each individual batch is filtered and put in a pressurised tank which retains the carbon dioxide and warms the product, which is still completely sugary, to a temperature of 15 °C. This promotes the fermentation process which is allowed to continue until an alcohol content of 5.5% vol. is reached. The product, which is now Moscato d’Asti, is chilled to a temperature of 0 °C to block fermentation. The wine is bottled at the beginning of November.
A high-altitude Moscato, full-bodied and velvety. Altitude: 360 metres above sea level. Slope: 32% with south-westerly exposure. Soil: 45% tufaceous rock – 48% sandstone – 7% calcium.
