Moscato d'Asti di Strevi DOCG, Contero

Contero is owned by the Marenco family, who are Moscato and Brachetto specialists in Strevi. This 11 hectare estate remains one of the best producers of invigoratingly delicious Moscato d'Asti and Brachetto d'Acqui. The vineyards are situated on steep hills in a perfect amphitheatre in the commune of Strevi (the heart of one of the best zones for Moscato in Piemonte). The vines are superbly tended and produce fruit of stunning quality.

With the 2022 vintage berry size was smaller, and yields were lower than usual but with high sugar concentration levels. This Moscato is delicately sparkling, with a lovely perfume of freshly crushed “dribble down the chin” grapes and sherbet. On the palate, it is perfectly balanced with soft, sweet fruit, a hint of Turkish delight and lively, fresh acidity.
