The estate's Moscato d'Asti, described as a certain idea of Moscato, served at Massimo Bottura's Osteria Francescana. 6% alcohol, ageing capacity 5 years.
Tasting notes
A very fine perlage and a brilliant straw yellow colour. Fragrant aromas of yellow-fleshed fruit and citrus with notes of grapefruit, lime and mandarin. Agile and fresh in the mouth, with a present but well-balanced sweetness.
Pairs well with
Bread with butter and anchovies, raw seafood, sweet Gorgonzola DOP, forest fruit tartlets
