Sweet
1999
By Mongioia, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
A 1999 vintage Moscato d'Asti bottled a few months after harvest and aged in glass for twenty years. Still, low in alcohol (5.5%), with an ageing capacity of 30 years.
Tasting notes
Incredibly fresh, delicately mint and balsamic, supported by pleasant acidity, caramelized notes, almost toffee, hints of licorice, finely honeyed accents and a slight bitter zephyr that prevents any risk of cloying. A fine, elegant, sincere and sunny sweetness with a golden colour.
