Altaluna
A straw-yellow blanche brewed with unmalted wheat and top-fermented. The nose is fruity and delicately spiced, with floral notes. It tastes sweet and fruity at first and holds that for a while, then closes dry and spicy with a light touch of hops. Bitterness is very low. The beer takes its name from Altaluna della Scala, daughter of Mastino II.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Altaluna
Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.
The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.
Best consumed fresh. Citrus and spice notes fade after 3–4 months. Drink within 6 months of packaging.
