NV Elvio Tintero - Moscato d'Asti 'Sori Gramella' - Kermit Lynch Import

The commune of Mango is the heart of Moscato country, and 20 of the Tinteros’ 30 hectares are planted to this grape. Their largest parcel is in the Sorì Gramella vineyard, whose full southern exposure and gradient of more than 20% pamper the grapes with many long hours of sunshine, without even casting shadows from one row to the next as is the case in most vineyards. The resulting wine is delightfully fizzy and slightly sweet, an irresistible combination that makes it a universal favorite. Marco also maintains that same spirit in his other wines, which are all fresh, easy, and fun to drink with friends. Vines are sustainably farmed, the equivalent of lutte raisonnée in France, all vinification in stainless steel. 30 years vine age. This is the only producer to bottle this striking single-vineyard, limestone amphitheater commercially. Grapes harvested and pressed, then kept in stainless steel at a low temperature to prevent fermentation. Fermentation is allowed to begin only when an order is received in order to provide the freshest wine possible. No malolactic fermentation.
