Toso Sprintoso Moscato

A relaxing moment in the sun is what this Toso Moscato Sprintoso perfectly represents. This Italian wine is seductively soft and delightfully fresh. Production is in the hands of the ultra-modern Toso winery in Piedmont, which has managed to capture all the wonderful qualities of the Muscat grape in this Moscato.

The success of Toso winery

The Toso winery was founded in 1910 in the Asti region, where the Barbera grape was primarily grown. More than a century has passed since the predecessor of Bodega Toso's current owner, Vincenzo, moved the business from the Asti region in Piedmont to Santo Stefano in Belbo. This move made way for the cultivation of Muscat d'Asti, the small Muscat grape that predominates in the Piedmont hills. The winery has been passed down through generations in the years that followed. Both the facilities and equipment have been improved decades after decades to meet the needs of the winery's increased production. In 1993, the company moved to Cossano Belbo, a town in the province of Cuneo in Piedmont, in search of the best expression of the terroir. Today, brothers Pietro and Gianfranco, along with their cousin Massimo, manage their predecessor's century-old winery.

The diverse aromas of Toso Sprintoso Moscato

The Muscat grapes for this Sprintoso Moscato are harvested in the second half of September and then gently pressed. The juice is then filtered, and the must is cooled significantly. Fermentation follows to six percent alcohol, leaving behind natural residual sugars. The result is a straw-yellow wine with a highly aromatic nose. It has intense and rich floral notes. The flavor is clearly Muscat-like, soft, sweet, and balanced, but above all, very refreshing.
