Cantina Clavesana Moscato d'Asti

A sweet, aromatic Moscato d'Asti DOCG, low in alcohol, made entirely from Moscato Bianco.

Tasting notes

Pale straw yellow. Fruity aromas of apricot and peach with a touch of sage. Lively, balanced and fresh on the palate between body, acidity and residual sugar.

Pairs well with

Any kind of dessert, from baked pastries to spoon desserts, and festive sweets such as panettone, pandoro and colomba; also good with soft-paste cheeses like Robiola di Roccaverano.
