This aromatic wine can be only produced in 52 villages in the southern part of Piedmont, within Asti, Alessandria, and Cuneo. It is produced from Moscato Bianco grapes and is known for its surprising perfume-like fragrance, light body, semi-sparkling, spritzy character lower alcohol content (typically to the tune of around 5-8% abv), and dazzling fruit-forward palate profile with a welcoming sweet factor. The wine’s colors steer towards straw yellow with occasional tinges of gold. Moscato’s inherent aromatics are simply stunning – orange blossom, honeysuckle, almonds, ginger, and fruit dominated by green grapes, citrus tones, and ripe peach nuances.
On the palate, you can expect an impressive lineup of fresh, forward fruit with sugar levels ranging from semi-sweet to sweet and wrapped in medium acidity. From pear and apple, to orange and lime with consistent appearances in the ripe, juicy peach and apricot category, Moscato’s flavors are extraordinarily fruit-filled. The delicate cascade of bubbles, light body, and sweet surprise culminate to woo and win many unsuspecting palates to the wide world of wine.
