## Summary

An aromatic Moscato d'Asti DOCG grown around Serralunga d'Alba, made by Massolino since 1993 and best uncorked just before pouring.

## Tasting notes

Bright straw yellow with fine, persistent perlage. Fresh and intense bouquet with a clear predominance of sage. Expansive and enveloping on the palate, not overly sweet, with a long finish.

## Food pairings

Suited to desserts such as Langhe hazelnut cake, apple and pine-nut cake, lemon cake, fruit puffs and panettone; also good with mature, slightly spicy cheeses.
