Sweet
Paiè
By Cantina Alice Bel Colle, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
Paiè is a Moscato d'Asti DOCG from the single 'Paiè' vineyard, an east-facing valley with a warm microclimate, made partly from slightly withered grapes.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow with golden reflections. Intensely aromatic, recalling honey, sage, acacia flowers, elderflower and lily of the valley. Pleasantly sweet, supported by good acidity that gives persistence without being cloying.
