Tasting Notes & Pairing Ideas
- Bright garnet color with reflections warmer with the passing of time. In the glass it gives off ethereal and spicy fragrances, with light vanilla and flowery notes, cocoa, coffee, licorice and hints of truffle. A full-bodied well-balanced wine with a long finish.
- It pairs well with red meats, game and aged cheeses.
Winery profile
- Valter Bera represents the very best of small-scale Asti and Moscato d’Asti production in Piedmont. He has dedicated time and energy to making the wines of the Neviglie area known and appreciated.
- The family produces Moscato, Barbaresco, but also Dolcetto, Bracchetto Langhe Nebbiolo, Barbera and Barbera Superiore.
- Moscato d’Asti and fully sparkling Asti are today almost exclusively produced by large wineries. Valter Bera strives to return this historic wine to its small-winery roots, which means producing these wines by hand rather than by automation as well as working with the Martinotti (Charmat) method on a much smaller scale than his competitors.
