About the Name: La Caliera is the soul of the Borgo Maragliano enterprise. The name La Caliera has been given as a tribute to a woman who lived in a house on the boundaries of the vineyards of the property for a long time. The remembrance of a generous and warm heart and a noble and quiet character are reflected in these old vineyards whose advanced vital cycle permits to obtain a grape harvest rich of "suggestions."

Winemaking Notes: After the harvest, the Moscato grape undergoes a soft pressing in the air pneumatic press. The juice obtained from this first phase of the winemaking process is refrigerated at a temperature of O°C in order to reduce the fermentation activity. Subsequently every single stock will be filtered and put in autoclave; this special tank is able to retain the carbon dioxide and heat the product, which is now still completely sugary, at a temperature of 15°C. The purpose of this procedure is to favor the fermentation process which will reach 5% vol. of alcohol. The product is then cooled at a temperature of O°C in order to stop the fermentation process. After, the product can be finally called Moscato d'Asti. After the month of October they proceed with the bottling in the first days of November and after a short period of refining in the bottle, La Caliera is ready for the first tastings.

Tasting Notes: Exhibits a full-bodied, velvety and intense fragrance with hints of candied fruit, violets and acacia flowers.
