Moscato is our passion, the Langhe our home: from here comes a selection of wines that tell the story of our land
*“Madness is superior to wisdom, for the latter is of human origin, while the former is of divine origin” (Plato, “Phaedrus”).
We too were considered crazy when, starting in 1998, we began aging Moscato in bottle, going against the common belief that considered a Moscato of just six months or a year already “old.”
This was possible because, once again going against the current, we chose to thin the grape clusters — removing some of them to allow the remaining grapes to reach optimal ripeness and thus achieve an excellent balance, an essential prerequisite for outstanding aging. Our 1998 and 1999 Moscatos, which still offer great emotion today, are proof of this.
And we did not stop there: we dared to go where others had never ventured, patenting the vinification of sweet Moscato in amphora and reviving the ancient system of drop-by-drop filtration through Dutch linen sacks.
We also explored Moscato in its different expressions, from the still dry version to the traditional-method sparkling wine, aged on its lees for 30 and 72 months.
Yet our research and love for the territory do not stop with Moscato: we also produce other Langhe wines, expressing the different grape varieties and the many nuances of our land.
Mongioia: the identity of Moscato and the soul of the Langhe.
Mongioia is led by Riccardo Bianco Owner, Oenologist and Agronomist who has produced a collection of Moscato-based wines all with a strong identity and has transformed the winery into an artisan boutique with passion and devotion to Moscato: feelings that are expressed in every bottle of the entire Mongioia Collection!
