Piedmont, Italy

Malvasia, Moscato, Chardonnay (equal parts)

The grapes are harvested early and then fermented with 20 days of carbonic maceration. The carbonic maceration smooths out the acidity from the almost-ripe grapes, and this combined with the skin maceration gives a balanced, aromatic, still-fruity, yet light wine. “Bassissimo” in Italian means “very low” because of the very low alcohol level (8.5%).
