Specialized Winery Selection
Moscato d'Asti Rashi
A slightly effervescent (frizzante) white wine, with a brilliant straw yellow color. On the nose, it offers intoxicating aromas of white peach, orange blossom, orange blossom honey, and sage. On the palate, it stands out for an idyllic balance between its natural fruity sweetness and a refreshing acidity that prevents cloying. Its low alcohol content (usually around 5.5% vol.) makes it the preferred choice for toasting at family celebrations or as an accompaniment to fine desserts.
Royvin Red Selection
A versatile and pleasant red blend on the palate, conceived with the explicit purpose of enriching Shabbat dinners and liturgical festivities. It fully complies with Mevushal wine standards through a flash pasteurization process that respects the integrity of the fruit. It offers notes of ripe red fruits, plum, spicy touches, and very soft tannins that provide a pleasant, accessible, and comforting drink.
Asti Spumante Rashi
A vibrant sparkling wine protected under the Asti DOCG designation. It presents fine, persistent bubbles and an elegant crown in the glass. Made from Moscato Bianco grapes using the Charmat or Martinotti method (secondary fermentation in stainless steel tanks), it preserves the primary expression of the fruit intact. It displays hints of wisteria, apricot, green apple, and citrus notes with an effervescent and joyful finish.
Accessible Production Without Sacrificing Quality
One of the great historical achievements of Rashi and Royvin has been to democratize access to consistently high-quality and refined Italian Kosher wines, without relying on aggressive manipulation techniques or artificial additives. The process begins in the selected vineyards of the Piedmontese hills, where the continental microclimate and the marl-calcareous soil composition favor the accumulation of sugars and aromatics in the Moscato Bianco varietal.
Winemaking is carried out under strict thermal control at all stages. After gentle pressing of the grapes, the must is kept at low temperatures to prevent unwanted spontaneous fermentations. Fermentation is interrupted by intensive cooling once the desired alcohol level and residual sugar are reached, thus preserving the primary fruit character and natural effervescence (dissolved carbon dioxide). For batches certified as Mevushal, a modern rapid pasteurization technique (flash pasteurization) is applied, which raises the temperature of the must for a few seconds so as not to alter its organoleptic properties before being bottled under the watchful eye of the rabbinical supervisors.
Guide for Celebration and Gourmet Pairing
Serving Temperature and Recommended Pairing
Rashi's Moscato d'Asti and Asti Spumante should be served markedly chilled, ideally between 6 °C and 8 °C, using white wine glasses or flutes to retain their delicate effervescence and volatile aromas. They prove to be a superb counterpoint to balance spicy dishes from Mediterranean or Middle Eastern cuisine, as well as to accompany savory appetizers, dried fruits, soft cheeses, fruit tarts, sweet challah, and traditional holiday pastries.
Importance of Kosher for Passover Certification
During the Passover Seder, wine plays a prominent ritual role as the four prescribed cups are consumed. Rashi and Royvin ensure that at all stages of cultivation, clarification, fermentation, and bottling there is no contact with leavened grain or prohibited leaven (chametz). This protocol is exhaustively audited by the cRc Kosher and the Orthodox Union, providing absolute peace of mind for observant families.
Aging Potential and Optimal Consumption
Given the fresh, lively, and aromatic nature of the Moscato grape, it is recommended to consume Rashi's sparkling labels within 1 to 3 years after their vintage to fully enjoy their fruity intensity and effervescence. Royvin's reds maintain their stability for 2 to 4 years when stored in cool conditions away from direct light.
