  • “I Have Two Infallible Friends Who Always Tell When a Wine Is Done: My Moustache!”
    TORLASCO ITALIA “I have two infallible friends who always tell when a wine is done: my moustache!”. At the end of the 17th century, Augusto Canelli held the keys and the secrets of the most noble and ancient wine cellars in the castles in the province of Asti. The most important wine producers always consulted with Augusto because he was well-known for his knowledge and insight of wine and his advice always guaranteed outstanding results. Augusto always knew of the best grapes to be harvested, he carefully supervised the whole wine-making process and was an expert in the ideal conditions for aging wine. It was said, that when a wine was aged and was ready for drinking, that he had two infallible friends right in front of the bottle - his long moustache which would begin to vibrate and bend upwards. Augusto Canelli, a great connoisseur of all Piedmontese wines, was a master in understanding the qualities of his beloved Barbera d’Asti and always knew which bottle to choose from the cellar. Whoever was lucky enough to meet him at a reception in a castle in the hills of Asti would taste one of his memorable bottles and could not forget him. Everything about the experience was amazing. From the history to the garnet red hue and the intense and fruity aroma with hints of plum, ripe cherry, blackberry and raspberry. And most extraordinary, was the taste of Augusto’s Barbera which was always unforgettable! Thus Augusto Canelli became known as “Monsù Gust”, the lord of barbera, known throughout the Kingdom of Piedmont as “Monsù Gust” which in Piedmontese dialect means “Mr.

  • Moscato D'asti DOCG
    Moscato d'Asti DOCG LOCATION: Santo Stefano Belbo, Canelli, Calosso GRAPE-VARIETY: 100% White Moscato (also called Moscato from Canelli) HECTARES: 41 ALTITUDE: 300-400 m (984-1312 ft) asl SOIL: loose whitish marl, composed of clay, sand and silt YEAR OF PLANTING: 1976, 1994, 2010 FIRST YEAR OF PRODUCTION: 1977 VINIFICATION: he harvested grapes undergo a soft pressing and the resulting must is left to decant in stainless steel tanks for several hours. Following decantation, the must is transferred to another tank where the temperature is lowered to 2-3°C to ensure the preservation of the juice and prevent fermentation from beginning. After the harvest is finished, each separate must is homogenized in order to create a single, consistent quality for the entire vintage. Following this phase, fermentation of the must begins in temperature- controlled (16-18°C), pressurized stainless steel tanks until the alcohol level reaches 5.5%. This is the phase in which the perlage, or fizz, typical of Moscato is produced, obtained by trapping the CO2, a natural by-product of fermentation, in the tank until the internal pressure has reached a maximum of 2 atmospheres. Filtrations allow us to obtain a clear and stable product that will subsequently be bottled at a very low temperature, in order to facilitate the wine’s conservation. AGING: The filtered wine is kept in pressurized tanks at a temperature between 0 and 2°C. WINE: Sweet white wine, the dessert wine par excellence. Straw yellow color of varying intensity depending on the vintage. The perlage is refined and elegant.
