Description:

Bright straw yellow in color with greenish highlights, it offers an intensely aromatic bouquet of orange blossom, white peach, and sage, with delicate notes of citrus and honey. On the palate, it is sweet and fragrant, with a pleasant effervescence that balances the sweetness, lending it freshness and drinkability. The finish lingers with floral and citrus notes. Its sweet and delicate freshness makes it perfect with light pastries, such as Venetian zaleti biscuits, fresh fruit tarts, and leavened cakes. It is traditionally served with "pazientina," a typical Paduan layered cake. Thanks to its effervescence, it is also excellent as a sweet aperitif, paired with savory pastries.

Fior d'Arancio is one of the iconic wines of the Euganean Hills, made from the Moscato Giallo grape (locally called Fior d'Arancio for the distinctive scent of its flowers). Quota 101 produces this wine strictly following the DOCG regulations, with grapes sourced exclusively from its own vineyards in Torreglia. After gentle pressing, the must ferments in pressure tanks using the Charmat method, stopping fermentation when the alcohol level reaches approximately 6.5%, thus preserving some of the grape's natural sugars and its characteristic effervescence, while maintaining all the freshness and aromatics of the Euganean Hills terroir.
