Canned yellow peach, lush plumeria, juicy pineapple. Apple purée, crushed rock, fresh lychee. Tongue-ticklingly bright and spritzy explosions of sliced guava, ripe grapefruit, and Bartlett pear boom with gorgeous fruit-laden juiciness that hits the tongue as slightly sparkling, medium-sweet, and thoroughly refreshing. Notes of gardenias, citrus blossom, and honeysuckle emerge on the nose providing deeply aromatic and expressive floral perfume that intertwines flawlessly with the cheery and youthful fruit. Subtle flecks of stoney minerality round out the attack providing just a pinch of earthiness that is playfully enhanced by bursts of fizzy effervescence. Beautifully outgoing, primary, and straightforward on the palate while remaining perfectly fresh and thirst-quenching; exhibiting wonderfully approachable and smiling-inducing fruitiness that is absolutely irresistible and fun. Light in body and low in alcohol at just 5% ABV while supported by bright acidity. This 2020 Moscato d'Asti by Massolino is a delightfully spunky and spirited sparkling wine from Serralunga d'Alba.

Produced in the province of Asti located in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy, Moscato d'Asti is a unique low alcohol and sweet sparkling wine that is legendary for its pronounced fruitness and expressive aromatics. This bottling, crafted by Massolino using the ancient Moscato Bianco grape grown in the commune of Serralunga d'Alba, brilliantly showcases the incredible juicy deliciousness that has catapulted the wines of Moscato d'Asti to worldwide fame. This delicately yet boldly flutters from the glass with a medley of pronounced stone, tropical, and citrus fruit enhanced by luscious floral tones and just a pinch of minerality. Although noticeably sweet on the palate this remains very lean and fresh thanks to elevated acidity and mild effervescence, and is an absolutely outstanding expression of this legendary wine style. Delicious.
