DOLOMITES MUSCAT FINE OLD

Moscato is part of traditional heirlooms and is produced in all colour shades, the best known of which is the light white wine with its subtle peppery raisin note. The Moscato Grappa by Zu Plun includes three vine varieties, which make it a truly special distillate: yellow, gold and pink Moscato. The pink Moscato gives this distillate its soft, fruity basis and at the same time a powerful backbone – ideal to compensate the sometimes too flowery bouquet of gold Moscato. The yellow Moscato gives it a complex, plump-grapy twist, thus stimulating the sensorial medium. This specialty is stored for three years in various sweet wine barrels from Burgenland, France and Spain. Ideal are those which have been used for the exquisite sweet white wine from Sauternes, which are best suited to complement the aroma of our Moscato Grappa.
