✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted from 100% Moscato Bianco cultivated on the calcareous marl and sandy slopes of southern Piedmont, this classic frizzante captures pristine varietal purity. The vinification employs gentle pressing followed by cold settling of the must. Fermentation occurs in pressurized stainless steel autoclaves under strict temperature control, allowing natural effervescence to develop until reaching approximately 5% to 5.5% alcohol by volume. At this point, the fermentation is halted via sterile filtration and chilling, preserving high levels of natural residual grape sugar balanced by vibrant acidity, devoid of any oak contact.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1918 when Nicolao Manfredi and his son Luigi began crafting wine in Farigliano, Cantine Manfredi evolved into an internationally recognized house across four generations of family stewardship. Today, under the direction of Aldo Manfredi alongside his daughters Luisa and Paola, the estate blends traditional Piedmontese viticulture with modern vinification technology. Sourced from the UNESCO-recognized rolling marl, limestone, and sand terroirs of the Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato hills, the house's vineyards benefit from dramatic diurnal shifts and sun-drenched exposures that foster aromatic elegance and crisp acidity. Sustainable viticultural practices underpin vineyard work, supported by solar-powered winery operations. Cantine Manfredi produces classic regional DOC and DOCG expressions across sparkling and still categories. Its effervescent portfolio is benchmarked by Moscato d'Asti and Asti Spumante, celebrated for pure floral perfume, bright stone fruit, and nuanced sweetness, alongside sparkling cuvées and structured reds like Dogliani and Barolo under the Manfredi and Bricco Rosso labels.
