Vietti Moscato d'Asti (75cl, 5.5%)

A lightly sparkling frizzante Italian white wine from Piedmont's Asti province, bottled at approximately 5.5% ABV. Produced by Vietti in Castiglione Falletto, it comes from old Moscato Bianco vines averaging 40 years of age. Vinification follows the Charmat method in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with fermentation halted once alcohol reaches around 5.5%. The nose opens with ripe peach, apricot, gardenia, rose petal and orange blossom. The palate carries gentle mousse with nectarine, pear, honeyed stone fruit and bright citrus zest. The finish tapers with fresh apricot and a faint floral echo. Serve well chilled at 4-7 C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass.
