Moscato d’Asti d.o.c.g. |
|
| |
Town: Santo Stefano Belbo
Hectares: 41
varietal: 100% Moscato
Bottles produced: 350000
1st year of production: 1977
This sweet white
is the dessert wine par excellence.
Straw-yellow of varying intensity depending on the vintage, it has an intensely
fruity nose which is aromatic and very persistent.
The sweet flavor is beautifully balanced with the low alcohol (5% vol.) and the
acidity, which - though never high - gives the product an appealing freshness.
Pairing suggestions: fresh fruit peaches, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries… cream-based desserts panna cotta.
