Umberto Fiore Moscato d'Asti (75cl, 6.5%)

Umberto Fiore Moscato d'Asti is a gently sweet, lightly sparkling wine from Piedmont, Italy. It is made by Cantine Manfredi from 100% Moscato Bianco grapes grown in the Asti zone. The juice is held at 0°C until needed, then fermented by the cuve close method; fermentation stops at 6.5% alcohol, leaving natural residual sugar and gentle effervescence. The nose shows orange blossom, white peach, elderflower, honeysuckle and fresh ginger. The palate is soft and lush with apricot, pear sorbet and candied citrus, balanced by lemon-zest acidity, and the finish leaves almond, hazelnut and honey.
