Mauro Sebaste
Moscato d'Asti
Asti, Piedmont, Italy
Bright, pale straw in color. Brief white mousse and tiny, "frizzantini" bubbles. Abundant nose of white flowers, echoed on the light palate which adds overripe peach and red apple. Juicy acidity balances the fruity sweetness. A lingering finish rounds it out. Perfect standard bearer for the appellation that many try to imitate. Balance is key, making an excellent sipper or accompaniment to fresh fruit or spicy dishes (like my Voodoo pasta)! Drink now.

Dec 5th, 2022Pale gold with tiny persistent bubbles. Inviting nose and palate of ripe golden apples, ripe peaches, and clover honey. Light and fizzy on the tongue. Sweet (of course) but balanced with refreshing acidity. Short-ish finish, but you’re likely taking another sip before that matters. The gold standard for Moscato. A lovely treat on its own, with fresh fruit, or with lightly sweet dessert crepes. Also a great pair with the exceptionally spicy dishes that my dining partner likes to make (remember, “Sweet beats heat!”). Stop fronting. You know that you like this stuff. Drink now.

Fruity and medium bodied. Syrupy and above average sweetness - not overpowering. Get a little bit if peach and citrus.
