– DISCOVERY –<br />
The Bosio family’s vineyards in Santo Stefano Belbo<br />
traditions and enhancing the region’s excellence. Grapes<br />
are grown with respect in these unique and unspoilt sites<br />
made up of woodlands and vineyards, villages and artcentric<br />
cities. The wine, therefore, not only epitomises<br />
‘Made in Italy’ quality but also the cultural background<br />
of its origins.<br />
Although it has a firm local rooting, the company<br />
has global exposure. Since production regulations were<br />
changed, Bosio Family Estates has introduced some new<br />
labels. One of them is its Asti Docg Secco single-vintage.<br />
This sparkling wine preserves the distinctive aromatic<br />
terpenes of Moscato, but foregoes residual sugar in favour<br />
of a drier mouthfeel. Its dry, fresh flavours create new<br />
sensations and pave the way for more sophisticated food<br />
pairings that do not restrict Moscato to a simple pudding<br />
wine. I am a firm believer in the success of Asti Secco<br />
Docg as it can offer contrasting impressions: its nose<br />
aromas are suggestive of a sweet wine but then you find<br />
yourself sipping a dry, savoury wine.<br />
