There is a corner of Piedmont where the vineyard rows are so steep that local growers once had to climb them almost like mountaineers. It is from this hard work of the past, described in the local dialect by the verb “scraponare”, that a legendary vineyard takes its name. Today, it produces one of the region’s most surprising wines. But let us start from the beginning. We are in Strevi, in the renowned Bagnario Valley, one of the finest wine-growing areas of Alto Monferrato. Here, the Scrapona vineyard enjoys a privileged position, blessed with optimal south-west exposure and rooted in soils composed mainly of marl and sand. This particular microclimate, characterised by significant day-to-night temperature variation, allows the grapes to develop extraordinary aromatic complexity. This Family Collection wine is produced exclusively from Moscato Bianco grapes. Organically grown, the grapes are carefully selected and harvested by hand to preserve the fruit in perfect condition. They are then slowly dried to concentrate sugars, aromas and complexity. Following gentle pressing, fermentation takes place slowly at controlled temperatures to preserve aromatic purity and balance. The wine then matures for several months before bottle ageing, gaining greater depth, elegance and aromatic intensity while retaining its varietal freshness. In the glass it displays a bright straw-yellow colour with warm golden highlights. The nose bursts with a fragrant and refined bouquet, where pronounced floral notes intertwine with aromas of apricot, pear and hints of tropical fruit. On the palate it is a genuine revelation. Sweet yet never cloying, it is supported by a fresh mineral backbone that cleanses the palate beautifully.
