Holidays

Ca’ D’Gal was founded in 1989 by Alessandro Boido, who decided to produce Moscato d’Asti on land belonging to the family after a major trip to Northern Europe.

The big bet was to give a new identity to Moscato d’Asti, trying to express the grape variety as best as possible and giving the wine the character and personality of a great white, capable of holding its own against the best sweet whites in Europe.

Since 2023 the winery has undertaken a generational transition: Alessandro Boido is joined by Alessandro Varagnolo, a young agricultural entrepreneur who will help Ca’ D’Gal’s development both commercially and in production.

The winery opens its doors to visitors by offering guided tours aimed at discovering the main characteristics, versatility and evolutions of Moscato.

1. A privileged position

Eight hectares of vineyards, plots reaching 70 years of age, light white soils, rich in sand and facing south

2. The winery

Ca’ d’Gal is a historic winery, built on the hills of Valdivilla, a small hamlet of Santo Stefano Belbo, the heart of the terroir of choice for Moscato d’Asti

The Wines

The elegance of the scents and the refined sweetness of Moscato

The company specializes in the production of three types of Moscato and an Asti Spumante.

Vite Vecchia is the most iconic and representative product, a wine aged for 60 months, known for its aromatic complexity.

Lumine is a fresh and fragrant Moscato, with perfect balance between sugars and acidity. Offers aromas of acacia, sage, rosemary and musk, with fruity finish of green apple, peach and apricot. Ideal with cakes, nuts, tarts and also with salami or homemade bread, with Bruss or Gorgonzola.

Moscato d’Asti Sant’Ilario has a deep yellow color and fruity notes on the nose, while in the mouth it is sweet but balanced by the acidity of the ripe grapes. The finish is long, free of cloyingness and gradually more complex over time.

Asti Spumante is a recent high-quality addition. It is fresh, lively and fragrant, with a lingering effervescence.

Traditional pairings include festive desserts such as panettone, but it can also surprise with unusual pairings such as shrimp and oysters.

Vite Vecchia

Moscato d'Asti beyond time and its longevity

Vite Vecchia is the most iconic wine of Ca’ D’Gal production, a Moscato d’Asti aged 60 months.

In youth it releases aromatic notes of white-fleshed peach, gooseberry, elderberry and chamomile; an aromatic complexity enriched in the mouth by sensations of orange blossom honey and candied fruit with grains of salt and sugar.

With aging, the nose is enriched with sage and wisteria, while remaining imbued with fruit levity, which shifts to the tropical with the freshness of pineapple and the sweetness of yellow plums. In the mouth it is vibrant, rich and full, in pleasant harmony with a long finish.

Its drinkability beyond fifteen years is an astonishing element and affirms the quality of the product.

Golden elegance

Moscato d'Asti Vite Vecchia has a straw-yellow color with golden hues. The nose is broad, complex and elegant, with notes of hydrocarbons, acacia honey, sage, mint and a citrus finish.

In the mouth, it opens sweet, never cloying, supported by a slight carbonic presence and good, persistent freshness. Very long finish, which acquires nuances of interesting complexity with time.

Excellent with spoon desserts, fruit or cream cakes, dry pastries.

1. Vite vecchia

Since the 2014 vintage, the aging process of Vite Vecchia has taken place in wooden caissons where the bottles, entirely covered with river sand, are left to rest for sixty months, allowing the wine to reach customers at its best moment of evolution
