I've enjoyed this wine on many a trip to Italy. Yes. I have been seen drinking Moscato de Asti 11:00 in the morning with a lemon sorbet. Why? It's only 5.5% in alcohol. I love it. But it hasn't been made for the no and low revolution we're having at the moment. It's been designed so when you come in from the vineyards, you can have something really light and refreshing. This has been designed to be drunk with lemon sorbet. It's been designed to go with a beautiful fruit tart. Let's try this wine. I get beautiful cherries and lavender, pear and citrus, Really exciting me. It's light. It's easy drinking. I feel like I can have this on a Sunday afternoon for a little light buzz. If I'm coming out the spa, this would be a lovely little tipple. You can't go wrong here, and it's made by one of my favorite producers, Aldo Vajra.
