Handpicked Piedmont Moscato

Handpicked Piedmont Moscato

Italy

The Piedmont region in northern Italy is famous for its bold reds of Nebbiolo(Barolo & Barbaresco), Dolcettoand Barberaalong with its unique Asti sparkling wines. Moscatod’Asti is a elegant and subtle wine which, unlike the Asti sparkling wines, is slightly "Frizzante", a term for a light sparkling quality. It is considered a sweet wine, yet does not drink like one, due to the great balance and crisp acids.

"This wine is obtained by 100% MoscatoBiancoGrapes, cultivated in the vineyards on the beautiful hills around the provinces of Asti, Alessandriaand Cuneo, in the Piedmont region. It shows an attractive straw-yellow colourwith golden highlights. The aromatic bouquet displays notes of white flowers and fruits such as peach, apricot and orange. On the palate, it is delicately sweet, aromatic and fresh, with a low alcoholic content which makes it particularly delightful."

This wine is ideal with rich pastries, fruit and fine chocolatesand perfect for all occasions: parties, celebrations, dinners, lunches, as an aperitif as well as a dessert wine. As one of the most refreshing wines in the world, Moscatod’Asti is a wine intended for the pure and simple pleasures, especially on a hot summers day and should be served chilled.
