Tasting Notes: Made by one of Italia’s greatest producers of Barbaresco, Poderi Elia’s Moscato d’Asti is a minor revelation in the mouth. Floral sweet, this wine tastes as if it were sifted through flint and honey. With delicate, lovely bubbles and a color that loves candlelight, this Moscato is a bit addicting so it must be enjoyed with caution!
