'Muripiani' Agricola Mos 2022

Agricola Mos 'Muripiani' is a white wine produced in the foothills of the Dolomites that is characterised by its full body and remarkable mineral timbre, qualities bestowed respectively by the grape variety and the terroir. On their recently founded estate, young cousins Luca Moser and Federico Ferretti cultivate five different varieties, specifically Chardonnay, Riesling Renano, Schiava, Müller-Thurgau and, of course, Pinot Grigio, a variety that, due to its great popularity at the end of the 20th century, was widely cultivated in areas that were not suited to it, with more emphasis on quantity than quality of production. This has made us partly forget the noble characteristics of this grey grape variety of Burgundian origin, which in suitable lands such as Alsace gives rise to some of the most appreciated white wines on the world wine scene.

Agricola Mos's 'Muripiani' is a 100% Pinot Grigio from a 25-year-old vineyard in the municipality of Zambana, at the foot of Mount Paganella. Here the vines, which are trained using the simple Trentino pergola system, stand on limestone-clay soils, face north-east and are at an altitude of 220 metres above sea level. Manual harvesting in the first ten days of September is followed by white vinification of the grapes through direct soft pressing and alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the same type of wine vats where the wine matures for several months until bottling.

The 'Muripiani' white wine from the Agricola Mos estate is intense straw yellow. The nose expresses apricot and white peach aromas combined with citrus and distinctly mineral, almost marine notes. The fullness and envelopment on the palate are well balanced by the excellent freshness and taut sapid-mineral component.
