Moscato / Chardonnay
Grinton Movest 2023
Della Vecchia

Grape Variety: 66% Moscato, 34% Chardonnay

Producer: Alex Della Vecchia

Region: Piave, Veneto, Italy

Wild Scale: 3/5

Winemaking: Organic Chardonnay and Moscato grapes were harvested by hand. The Chardonnay was de-stemmed and macerated for one month whilst the Moscato was pressed directly. Fermentation with indigenous yeast. After resting until Spring, juice from the original harvest was added to the wine to kick start a second fermentation. Bottled before this process was complete in order to create fizz in the bottle. No filtration, fining or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural sparkling wine at a great price! Moscato features for the 2023 vintage which makes us very happy indeed. Floral and tropical fizz with a textured body and a mineral finish. Excellent value.

Notes on the Winemaker: Alex Della Vecchia makes natural wine in the Dolomite mountains in northeastern Italy. There is a long tradition of sparkling wine in this part of the country and this is something Alex wants to preserve. Col Fondo style wines with skin contact techniques and no additions. He works 4 hectares of vines and also purchases organic fruit from neighbouring growers.
