ABOUT THE WINE: In all of Alto Adige, only nine hectares (twenty-two acres) are planted with Red Muscat. The vine is very demanding, it requires a very warm and dry location, and it insists upon patient care in the vineyard. The blossom is female and is not self-pollinating, which often leads to blossom drop. In these, the tiniest of seedless grapes, there is a breathtaking concentration of aromas that are reminiscent of oriental fruit and spice markets. In a protected, very well-ventilated meadow area, "Rajas" Red Muscat has found its ideal micro-terroir. With drastically reduced yields, the nobly sweet wine with its typical Baroque fullness is an exact mineral reflection of its location. In the course of the bold, lengthy time on the skins, "Rajas" Red Muscat takes on a spicy tannin contour that initiates a provocative liaison with aromas of roses, cinnamon, rose hips, and orange peel.

It is a fine, delicately aromatic dessert wine, with a light ruby color and an intensive nose of tea-rose. It is full-bodied and spicy-sweet on the palate. This wine pairs well with a wide variety of desserts, for instance, poppy-seed strudel or beignets.
>> dettaglio
On the palate, it has a velvety, extremely berry-like effect like a French Burgundy, and tones of fresh elderberries and wild cherries give the subtle fruit sweetness a succinct, finely-spiced structure.
