Massolino Moscato d'Asti 2017

This is an example of what you can expect when Moscato is given the Rolls Royce treatment. Drawn from just 1.5-hectares of hand-harvested grapes, in Moscato terms the production here is tiny, and what's more the vines are rooted in the prime calcareous soils of Serralunga d'Alba. The result is something altogether more savoury and complex and yet every bit as delicious as the more typical examples. The 2016 is classically racy, mineral Moscato bursting with frothy pineapple, sweet mint and tangy red apple aromas and flavours. It finishes dry, chalky, and super refreshing. Superb with desserts, it is also extremely seductive when served with mature, slightly spicy cheeses.
