One of the most unusual wines in the entire Fyxx range: a Moscato Bianco from Bera Vittorio in Piedmont that began life destined for Moscato d'Asti but instead underwent spontaneous fermentation lasting over two years in cement vats, then aged a decade under flor — a golden, oxidative, utterly singular wine.
Tasting Notes
Golden yellow with orange hints. The nose is oxidative in the Jura style rather than the floral Moscato style you might expect — dried fruits, citrus, mineral depth, and the signature autolytic character of ten years under a veil of yeast. Rich texture on the palate with dried fruit, mineral persistence, and a long, complex finish. Bottled unfiltered with no added sulphur. There is nothing else like this.
