Straw yellow with intense aromas of citrus, apricot, fig and orange blossom; taste is pleasantly sweet and aromatic like the Moscato grapes it comes from. The alcohol content makes it a delicious and natural thirst-quencher anytime as well as a dessert wine par excellence; it also lends itself to unusual combinations with appetizers, raw fish and sushi.

The name Strev refers to the hills where the Moscato grapes are cultivated. The Strev hills are located in the eastern part of the Asti DOCG appellation. The Moscato grapes grown here are known for their exceptional ripeness due to the warm microclimate and steep hillsides. The juice obtained from the pressing of the grapes is maintained at low temperatures until the time of refermentation which takes place in pressurized tanks. Once the alcohol reaches 5.5°, fermentation is halted and the wine is bottled with its natural vivacity. A zesty Moscato, with tangy acidity playing off the flavors of melon ball, candied orange peel and pear pâte de fruit. Balanced and creamy.

Since 1896, the Marenco family has been a small producer with the ability to translate enology and terroir for generations. Giuseppe Marenco brought a modern approach to Marenco's winemaking in the 1950s, expanding their efforts from grape cultivation and sale to the complete production of wines that reflected the territory of the Monferrato hills. Giuseppe also slowly bought other key properties in the Strevi hills to complement his father's original holding, La Marchesa vineyard in the Bagnario Valley. Today, the Marenco family presides over 160 acres of vineyards, carrying on the proud tradition of crafting quality wines that showcase the area's microclimates. Giuseppe's three daughters have taken over his dream, overseeing all aspects of Marenco, from the cultivation in the vineyards, to wine production, to the marketing of these distinct wines in markets around the world...  The grapes are exclusively harvested by hand in order to select the best grapes and to preserve the best characteristics of each varietal. Marenco has invested heavily in a modern winery. Cutting edge equipment allows Patrizia to better control the entire winemaking process, from the delicate soft pressing of grapes, to temperature-controlled fermentation, to the use of barriques to refine the wines. All these efforts result in a high-quality line of wines that represents the best of Piemonte's sparkling wine tradition.
