Moscato d’Asti 2020
Moscato d’Asti 2020
Valter Bera is among the very best of small-scale Moscato d’Asti producers and strives to return this historic wine to its small-winery roots. This means producing Moscato d’Asti on a smaller scale and working thoughtfully with the Martinotti method. Bera’s Moscato has fine aromatics thanks to calcareous soils and its sweetness is carefully balanced by acidity.
Description
Tasting Notes
Moscato d’Asti is picked later than Asti and captures more of Moscato’s hedonistic fruit and floral aromas. The wine is slightly sparkling (frizzante), lower in alcohol, and has a bit more sweetness than Asti. However, its sugar is well balanced by acidity thanks to Valter’s careful work in the vineyard and cellar.
Food Pairing
With its gentle sweetness and low alcohol, few wines are as well suited for brunch as Asti and Moscato d’Asti. Moscato d’Asti is ideal with brioche, panettone, and french toast dusted with powdered sugar. Asti can also be served as an apertivo or be paired with spicy Asian cuisine or delicately sweet desserts.
