Tasting Notes: This sparkler is a beautiful expression of the Moscato grape–light, floral, persistent, with a pleasant sweetness that is not cloying. The acids are so perfectly balanced, so as to flush your mouth of all sweetness, leaving it clean and fresh. The bubbles are light, not overly zealous, so one can taste the fruits and enjoy the bouquet of one of the most aromatic white varietals in the world. This wine has won numerous awards, including the prestegious Gold Medal in Switzerland.
