Beni di Batasiolo, Moscato d’Asti (Piedmont, Italy) 2011

 Moscato d’Asti is a favorite off-dry white wine among the Piemontese, especially as a refreshing summer sipping wine or with fresh fruit.  The grapes were cold pressed and then stored in refrigerated tanks, eventually cold fermented to achieve full fruit with a touch of sweetness and 5.5% alcohol.  It is slightly frizzante with forward floral, fruity aromas and flavors, crisp acidity and plenty of sweet fruit.  Drink it cold and enjoy as a sipping wine or light fruit-based desserts.
