Riofava Gamba Piemonte Moscato (75cl, 5.5%)

A lightly sweet Italian white wine from Piedmont, produced from Moscato (Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains) under the Piemonte DOC designation. Fermentation is arrested early to preserve natural residual sugar and keep alcohol low, retaining the grape's perfumed aromatics. The nose shows white peach, ripe apricot, orange blossom, honeysuckle and fresh grape. The palate opens with peach and nectarine sweetness balanced by crisp acidity, with gentle effervescence and flavours of candied citrus peel and ripe pear. The finish is clean and moderately short, with minerality and lingering floral notes. Serve well chilled, between 4 and 7°C, in a standard white wine glass. It suits an aperitif, a spritz with sparkling water and lemon, a Moscato Sangria or a Moscato Bellini.
