Description

Moscato d’Asti is a light and fragrant wine, fresh and without the cloying sweetness of many, it has a touch of minerality which means it can be matched with a wider range of desserts or just enjoyed by itself.

This Moscato is youthful yellow in colour with straw yellow hues. On the nose, there are expressive aromas of sage and fresh yellow fruits such as apricots, peaches and exotic fruits. A delicate, fine mousse refreshes and cleanses the palate. The balance between sweetness and freshness carries into a long creamy finish.

Piedmont

Piedmont or Piemonte, located in northwestern Italy, is renowned for its prestigious and diverse wines. The region's varied climate and rich soils, particularly in the Langhe and Monferrato areas, are ideal for viticulture. It is famous for its robust reds, especially Barolo and Barbaresco, both made from the Nebbiolo grape, known for their complex aromas, rich tannins, and ageing potential. It also excels in Barbera, producing wines with vibrant acidity and cherry notes, and Dolcetto, offering fruit-forward, approachable reds. On the white side, Gavi, made from the Cortese grape, is known for its crisp, refreshing character. Piemonte’s blend of traditional winemaking techniques and modern innovations offers a rich and sophisticated wine experience.
