This super-fine Moscato was drawn from an amphitheatre of sandy, chalky slopes that circle Sandro Boido’s winery in Santo Stefano Belbo. Boido’s hand-tended, organically managed vines here average around 30 years of age. This area has long been recognised as one of Moscato d’Asti’s most prized terroirs, with the steep, chalky vineyards that dominate the commune prized for tempering Moscato’s varietal heady fruits with freshness, mineral energy and perfume.
Lumine may be Ca’ d'Gal’s entry Moscato but it’s always a striking, pulpy and mouth-watering wine of wonderful freshness, perfume and surprising complexity. The 2020 is no exception, with lifted white flowers, lime zest, green pear and Vietnamese mint notes. Lumine means ‘to illuminate’, and this does just that across the palate, with layers of aromatic, silky fruit, a juicy, sorbet-like freshness and a chalky, chiselled and precise finish. This is our second shipment of the 2020 vintage and the extra months in bottle have added a new dimension of deliciousness. It’s an exceptional wine that’s tremendously priced for its quality.
