Cupcake, Moscato d’Asti DOCG (Piedmont, Italy) 2020

Oct 5, 2021

By Rich Cook

 Cupcake has wisely imported this wine for several years running with the realization the real deal is sometimes the better play that to go to the expense of making a substitute from scratch.  This is proper all the way through, from the floral nose to the fizzy, not overly sweet palate of tangerine and mild spice.  I drink this with a couple Madelines for a tasty light dessert.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
