Sweet
Moscato d'Asti
By Cascina Guido Berta, Nizza, Piemonte, Italy
A 100% Moscato, low-alcohol (about 5%) sweet sparkling wine made by slow, cold fermentation in autoclave.
Tasting notes
Bright straw yellow with golden highlights and a fine, persistent perlage. Intense and remarkably fresh on the nose, with white peach and sweet orange-blossom notes. Full on the palate, fruity and long, balanced by lively effervescence.
