PEU MOUSSANT Colour Bouquet Taste Consumption |
| Vines 50% Rhine Riesling – 50% Italian Riesling, Peu Moussant is produced from Rhine Riesling, 5 – 10 year old vines and from 30 year old Italian plants. Terrain 2,5 hectares of clayey-calcareous soil, facing East and West, located in Mairano di Casteggio at an altitude of 150 – 200 metres above sea-level. Cultivation Cultivation is implemented with no trace whatever of antibotritics or synthetic products and soil treatment is restricted to the indispensable. When installing the new plantations, during the planting of the seedlings, 'attinomiceti' i.e. natural funguses were used to protect the young roots from disease. The Guyot cultivation method is used to guarantee maximum qualitative uniformity. The yield per hectare amounts to 800 kilos of grapes, from an average 5,500 stems. Harvest Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand, together with meticulous sorting of the bunches. During the picking phase, dry ice is used to protect the grapes from oxidisation and to avoid temperature upswings. |
Vinification The must obtained from the soft pressing of the whole grapes is left to ferment in stainless steel tanks at 18°C for 25 days. After fermentation, the wine is kept at a constant 10°C until the start-up of the actual effervescing process. Refining The effervescing process takes place in autoclaves (pressure tanks) at 15 °C for 1 month. Its limited effervescence (4 atmospheres) characterises this wine as a 'Satin' sparkling variety and gives it its name - Peu Moussant (slightly sparkling ). Bottling Maximum, anti-oxygen protection is ensured during the bottling phase. After a final, rigorous, quality control, and at least 12 months after bottling, the wine is placed on sale. Storage The bottled wines are stored in a specifically appointed warehouse, air-conditioned at a constant 15°C. |
