Adorè Moscato di Sicilia DOC 2024 - Casa di Grazia x 6

The Elegance of Dry Coastal Moscato: The Winemaker's Philosophy for Adorè Casa di Grazia

The Adorè Moscato di Sicilia DOC 2024 by the Casa di Grazia winery represents an aristocratic, fine, and sharply regional interpretation of the Muscat Blanc grape, crafted in a strictly dry style. This organic white wine originates in the vineyards situated right alongside the Gela coastline, with the objective of turning the varietal's aromatic exuberance into a symmetrical, taut, and impeccably fresh pour. The project offers a true encounter of joy and taste, delivering a still white wine capable of merging typical varietal attraction with a dry, marine character, designed for lovers of contemporary aromatic whites.

Agronomic Notes: Sandy Limestone Soils and Cellar Protocol

The vine rows develop on loose soils with a strong sandy matrix rich in limestone fractions—a geological habitat caressed by sea breezes and the intense sun of the southern Sicilian coast. This ventilated microclimate guarantees excellent diurnal temperature shifts and a gradual phenolic ripeness, keeping the grape's sharp acidic backbone completely intact. The manual harvest selects the clusters at their perfect point of maturity. Under the technical direction of winemaker Tonino Guzzo, fermentation takes place entirely in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to protect the fragrance of the most volatile aromatic precursors. Aging on the fine lees in steel stabilizes the mass, avoiding any oak contact to maintain a clean texture and an alcohol content of 13.00% Vol.

Service Guidelines and Gastronomic Pairings

The structural fluidity, smooth texture, and intense aromatic core of this dry Moscato determine remarkable versatility, making it an ideal partner for seafood cuisine and elite apéritifs.

• Stable Pairings: It pairs magnificently alongside second courses based on oily fish or premium fish, grilled swordfish steaks, and seared tuna fillets. It excels paired alongside cold seafood appetizers, delicate risottos featuring fresh cheeses, savory pies, and side dishes of battered and fried leafy vegetables or steamed summer vegetables.
• Serving Method: To promote the development of the citrus aromatic framework and enhance the precision of the wine, the use of a medium-sized Rhine-style glass and a serving temperature of 10 - 12°C are highly recommended.
