The 2013 Moscadello di Montalcino Vendemmia Tardiva Pascena (packaged in a 375-milliliter bottle) opens to a pale golden color and mild color saturation. This Moscadello achieves delicate and downplayed intensity that is well suited to the natural fragrance and exuberance of Moscato. Indeed, this cooler vintage has helped tame and soften the wine and the results are beautiful and nuanced. Candied fruit, apricot and honey emerge from the bouquet. This wine is partially fermented in barrique and stainless steel. It sees one year in wood and another six months in bottle before its release. Some 2,700 bottles were made.
