There is a wine that encapsulates the warmth of Calabria, the memory of an ancient land, and the slow gesture of those who preserve knowledge passed down through the centuries. It is the Moscato di Saracena, a rare dessert wine, still produced today using a unique traditional method known worldwide.
Retrogusti arrives in the Calabrian village of Saracena with a new event of the “Stories in Tasting” format, to immerse oneself in the history and flavor of a wine that is a symbol of a territory and its culture.
Guests of the Cantine Viola, a landmark for the enhancement of this precious nectar, we will discover how the Moscato di Saracena is produced, what grapes make it up, and what techniques are used to preserve its identity.
A guided tasting inspired by the article “Moscato di Saracena, between history and tradition a Calabrian wine treasure” by our Francesco Sciumbata, which traces the history of this excellence of the territory since 1500.
