Description
In South Piedmont, in between the hills of Langa and Monferrato, there is a unique village: Castiglione Tinella.
92% of the village surface is covered by vineyards – one of the highest percentage in the whole of Italy!
And not just any vine: here the undisputed king is Moscato Bianco, one of the oldest grape variety.
At the beginning of the 1800’s Eugenio Soria established his winery in Castiglione Tinella, in what became know as San Martino ward (now recognized as the historical “cru” of Castiglione Tinella for Moscato growers). At the turn of the century it was the turn for his son Giovanni Soria to steer the grape production towards the making of quality wines; a transition implemented even further by the nephew Sergio Soria. But it was only in 2006 that Matteo Soria, a 21 years old freshly graduated winemaker, took over the winery of his great-grandfather and adopted modern winemaking techniques to create wines of the highest quality.
Not one to shy away from a challenge, Matteo wanted to prove you can make a fully dry, sparkling Moscato in an area famous for its sweet wines.
He achieved his idea by fully fermenting the Moscato grapes until almost no sugar was left in the must.
The result is “Bric Prima Bella”: an exuberant sparkler with enticing aromas – a great alternative to Prosecco!
Drink well cold within 2 years. Great with sushi
