“Sourgal” is the Moscato d’Asti that Elio Perrone produces from a vineyard of exceptional quality, within a territory suited for the traditional production of fine sweet wines. The bulbous and dark bottle has become a distinctive sign of the winery, representing a more playful approach to wine.
The Moscato d’Asti “Sourgal” by Elio Perrone is born from the pure vinification of the most well-known and widespread aromatic variety, coming from the beautiful vineyard that gives its name to the label. At the top of a hill near the village of Castiglione Tinella, in that part of the Langa astigiana that runs along the right bank of the Tanaro and is characterized by Moscato Bianco, at an altitude of 350 meters above sea level, the vines thrive on sandy, draining soils exposed to the east. The harvest takes place manually between the end of August and the beginning of September, with selection of the grapes already in the vineyard. The cellar operations are typical of this type: gentle pressing to extract only the aromatic part of the grapes and clarification of the must from sediments and impurities, followed by storage at very low temperatures until the moment of sparkling, which takes place in autoclave. The fermentation proceeds until reaching 5% alcohol by volume, with a potential of 12.7% and a sugar concentration exceeding 50 grams per liter. Bottling is carried out under sterile isobaric conditions, to preserve the effervescence.
“Sourgal” by Elio Perrone appears lively and bright, with a luminous straw yellow color veined with youthful green reflections. Unmistakably varietal on the nose, it impresses with intense peculiar scents of orange blossom and acacia flowers, offering more mature notes of yellow-fleshed peach and the balsamic herbal scents of sage. The tasting reveals a sweet and well-balanced flavor with a subtle and persistent freshness that lightens the body and invites a pleasant sip. An elegant Moscato, which typically pairs well with pastries and celebrations, but can surprise with pairings with savory snacks made of local cured meats, homemade bread, and vegetable quiche.
