MOSCARDELLO
Moscato - I.G.T. - Terre di Chieti

“Moscardello” is the ancient local name for this delicious, sweet dessert wine. It's a distinguished and limited production, obtained from the noble Moscato grape.
In order to bring out its unique aroma, the vinification process is based on “natural” fermentation, which contributes to making “Moscardello” a jewel in the Abruzzo winemaking crown.
