By F.lli Botto, Monferrato, Piemonte, Italy
An aromatic 100% Moscato from the hills around Strevi, lightly sparkling and made as a dessert wine.

Golden yellow with fine, light effervescence and an intensely aromatic character that shows from the pressing onward.
Pairs well with
The classic dessert-wine pairing, but also good with strongly flavoured cheeses, peaches and figs.
