Asti is a lovely town, set in the gently rolling hills of Piedmont, in northern Italy. The craggy, limestone soil there is ideal for growing grapes.A semi-sparkling wine with about half the carbonation of a typical sparkling wine, Moscato d’Asti is light and crisp and relatively low in alcohol, about 5 to 7 percent.
Drink Moscato d’Asti with warm peach cobbler topped with a big dollop of mascarpone. Mmmm.
Moscato d’Asti not only makes an exceptional dessert wine but is also versatile enough to have as an aperitif. Served alone, it is one of the most refreshing wines in the world, and one would be hard pressed to find something better for a hot summer day.
