Saracco Moscato Moscato d'Asti 2012

Paolo makes terrific Moscato d'Asti, the delicately scented, frizzante (semi-sparkling) wine made from Moscato Bianco grapes. Moderately sweet with a faint hint of sage and mandarin.

Moscato d'Asti is one of the true wine delights of the world. The Moscatos of Piedmont are bold and refreshing and have equal appeal to wine novices and experts alike. Saracco's 100% Moscato is light, clean, crisp and wonderfully refreshing with fresh, fruit peach, lychee, pear and floral aromas and flavors with a very delicate effervescence. It has a clean, elegant finish exhibiting fresh, crisp acidity with no sensation of cloying sweetness. A real mouthful of fresh fruit.

Fruitily fragrant apple nose lends style and grace to this sparkling moscato. Aromatic, sweet roses and lemon flavors dance on your tongue with an appealing tropical, brilliant finish. Enjoy all year round chilled to perfection.

Winemaker Notes - Moscato d Asti is a unique wine where the beautiful aromas of the grapes are enhanced by a crisp, nice acidity, a light frizziness and the sweetness of the natural residual sugar. The low alcohol content makes it a very easy, pleasant wine perfect to finish a meal with dessert or alone, as a nice mid-day break.

Medium body and acid. Medium fruit. Medium sweet. Oranges, flowers, citrus, apples. Slightly syrupy and full of ripe, creamy, lingering fruit.
