1. A very simple process is applied when it comes to the making of this wine. The first step begins with the harvesting of the best quality Moscato grapes.
2. After harvesting, the grapes are pressed and filtered. Freshness of the grapes has to be maintained at any cost for the wine to taste good; and premature fermentation can be avoided by placing the grapes in freezing temperature till the need for actual fermentation arises.
3. The last step in this procedure is called vinify or fermentation. This requires the filtered grapes to be placed in a sealed barrel or tank for a month, in a surrounding temperature of 14° C to 15° C.
4. It is essential that the Moscato be kept warm. For ideal fermentation, it is treated with yeast. The sealed tank helps in the preservation of the fizz and carbon dioxide. The fermentation stops once the product has achieved the required amount of residual sugar level, which is 5.5% of alcohol.
5. The last step involved in this procedure is the filtering of the wine to remove unwanted residue and yeast.
