It is obtained from the “Moscato Naturale d’Asti” wine, using very fine processing it keeps the fragrant taste and aroma of the finest muscatel grapes.

This sparkling wine keeps in step with the tradition of sweet sparkling wines from Italy. It is very sweet and tastes like a juicy apple to me. It would go great with melons, strawberries, apples desserts, or any light and fruity pastry. It is very easy to drink, which led to me drinking a little more than I should have when we opened this bottle. It’s great for an afternoon get together for the girls, a bridal or baby shower perhaps. I think it would also be nice to welcome guests with at a dinner. The sweet flavor will really get their mouths watering for dinner to come and nothing says it’s time to celebrate better than a sparkling wine. |

Champagne vs. Sparkling wine, yes there is a difference. In short, it has to do with the place and the method of how the wine is made. This Italian wine is a great bubbly. It is sweet and not strong at all, which personally I don’t care for in a champagne or sparkling wine. I would recommend this wine for a wedding reception, anniversary, or any celebration. It is great and I think almost anyone would like it. Save a bottle for a special romantic getaway, or summer afternoon picnic for two. Grab some strawberries, a blanket, maybe some sweets and a bottle of a good sparkling wine and head to your favorite secluded getaway. Best of all, not that I’ve ever done this before, but remember sparkling wines and champagnes don’t require a corkscrew! Nothing ruins a romantic picnic with a good bottle of wine faster than the lack of a corkscrew. No big surprise, I am also a big fan of the movement to have screw caps on high quality wines. |
