Moscato d'Asti from Bricco Avene in Mango, where altitude and daily temperature range build aromatic intensity. 5% alcohol with about 140 g/l residual sugar.
Tasting notes
Straw yellow of varying intensity. Fruity, intense, aromatic and persistent, with hints of sage and citrus. The sweetness is balanced by low alcohol and a pleasant freshness.
