Wednesday's Wine: Moscato D'Asti

Moscato d'Asti (per Wikipedia): a lightly sparkling (frizzante) variety of Muscat, made from the Moscato Bianco (Muscato Canelli) grape of the Piedmont region of Italy. This region has a DOCG designation and is known for the production of Barbera d'Asti, Dolcetto d'Asti, and Asti Spumante.

Descriptions:

Epicurious:

"Moscato d'Asti is an aromatic, semi-sparkling wine (about half the carbonation of a typical sparkler) with a mild level of sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity. Moscato d'Asti also serves well as a dessert wine, but possesses enough versatility to be enjoyed as a refreshing aperitif. "

Culinaria Italy:

"Moscato d'Asti is the delicately fruity, elegant version of the famous Asti, formerly called Asti Spumante. With their rich, fruity bouquet, in which the aroma of pears may dominate, a pleasant, fruity sweetness and their slight but not aggressive sparkle, these wines are excellent with fruit desserts."
