Moscato d’Asti DOCG

Description

The Moscato grape comes from different vineyards within the district of Barbaresco and neighbouring areas. Vinified together they result in a delicate, fragrant wine with aromatic notes.

A subtle liveliness intensifies the fragrance of the straw yellow colour with golden highlights. The nose is fruity, featuring yellow peach, rose petals, honey, lime blossom and sage among the varietal’s typical aromatic notes. Sweet, fresh and engaging on the mouth, with teasing moreish acidity.
At the table it is recommended above all with desserts at the end of a meal, especially with fresh and dry cakes or mini pastries.
