Description
What kind of wine it is
Prunotto Moscato d’Asti is a naturally sweet white wine from Piedmont, distinguished by its delicate effervescence and made from Moscato Bianco grapes. On the nose, it reveals an intense aromatic bouquet, with hints of acacia honey, hawthorn, renetta apple and mandarin, accompanied by fresh notes of wisteria. This floral and fruity interplay is complemented by subtle mineral nuances and aromatic herbs. On the palate, it is dense and enveloping, supported by a balanced acidity and savouriness that lends great freshness. The sip is enhanced by light ginger tones and a subtle bitter note on the finish, which rounds off the tasting in an extremely pleasant way.
Where it comes from
This Moscato d’Asti originates from the areas of Canelli and the province of Asti, extending to the territory of Alba, in the heart of the Langhe and Roero hills. The vineyards benefit from a temperate-cool climate, an ideal condition for preserving the integrity of the grapes’ aromatic profile. The vines take root in calcareous-clay soils of marine origin, characterised by dry terrain rich in limestone. This specific geological formation gives the wine a pronounced savoury character and a crystal-clear olfactory purity, highlighting the fruit’s purity.
How it is produced
The production process overseen by Prunotto begins with crushing and gentle pressing. During this stage, a brief maceration in the press encourages the transfer of aromas from the skins to the must. After natural settling, the must is kept at low temperatures to prevent spontaneous fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature and is interrupted by refrigeration to preserve the fruit’s natural sweetness. A meticulous sterilising microfiltration is carried out before bottling, ensuring a clear, stable wine with a distinct aromatic identity.
History and Curiosities
The Prunotto Moscato d’Asti DOCG originates in Piedmont from the excellence of the Antinori family, on a historic estate founded in 1904. Produced exclusively from Moscato Bianco grapes grown on the prestigious hills of Canelli and Alba, this wine draws its richness from the calcareous-clay soils of the Langhe. Fermentation is halted at 5% vol through refrigeration to preserve its natural sweetness and delicate effervescence. An elegant glass that enchants the palate with irresistible notes of honey, hawthorn and fresh fruit.

| Origin | Alba (Cuneo), Piedmont, Italy |
| Climate | Cold-temperate |
| Soil composition | Soil originating from calcareous-clay marine deposits |
| Fermentation temperature | 18–20 °C |
| Production technique | Soft pressing in pneumatic presses; natural decantation/sedimentation of the must; fermentation with selected yeasts interrupted by refrigeration; clarification, filtration (sterilising microfiltration) and bottling |
| Wine making | The grapes, harvested in baskets, were crushed and, before being pressed, were left for a short period in the press to encourage the transfer of aromas from the skins to the must. The resulting free-run must was separated from the lees by natural sedimentation. Fermentation then began and continued until an alcohol content of 5% was reached. Fermentation was halted by refrigeration, followed by clarification, filtration, and bottling. |
