About This Wine
The Ceretto 2023 Vignaioli di Santo Stefano Moscato d'Asti DOCG is a delightful example of this iconic Italian sweet, lightly sparkling wine. Made from 100% Moscato Bianco grapes grown in the Asti region of Piedmont, it's known for its bright, radiant straw-yellow color and fine, persistent bubbles.
On the nose, expect an intensely aromatic profile, often featuring notes of elderflower, fresh lemon, orange blossom, peach, apricot, and honey. The palate is typically sweet but beautifully balanced by a lively acidity and a low alcohol content (around 5.5%), making it incredibly refreshing and easy to drink. It offers clear, fresh fruit flavors, a delicate mousse, and a clean, satisfying finish.
The Ceretto Moscato d'Asti is highly versatile, perfect as an aperitif, or as an ideal companion for desserts like fruit tarts, panna cotta, or hazelnut cakes. It can also be enjoyed with fresh fruit or even as a contrast to spicy Asian cuisine or certain cheeses. While enjoyable in its youth, it can be aged for 1-2 years.
