If there isone thing wine connoisseurs go crazy about nowadays, it is from a type of winethat does not seem to be noticed until now. Moscato d’Asti is a lightlysparkling sweet wine with most brands packaged in blue bottles. The wineoriginated from the mountaintop village of Asti, located about 30 miles east ofTurin in northwest Italy. the DOCG-designated wine is made from Muscato Biancogrape with moderate alcohol content of 8 to 10 percent and some residualsugar.
Ideally, it is served as a “breakfast wine” because of its fruitiness andlow alcohol content, although wine experts also recommend it for lunch andholidays. It has decent acidity, with hints of pear, citrus, and orange peel onits bouquet.
