    Moscato d’Asti: Italy’s Light, Fizzy Secret

    The Italians know how to lead the good life and in the 1870 with the grape Moscato they started to make a light, fizzy, white wine. Perfect for elevenses with lemon sorbet, afternoons with fruit tart or long lunches.

    I've enjoyed a Moscato d 'Asti on many a trip to Piedmont. I love this wine because its only 5.5% in alcohol (normal is 12%) is light, fruity and sweet so easy to drink on its own.
