One of the most endearing qualities of the Italian wine culture is the fact that the Italians have a wine for just about every occasion. Sparkling Moscato d’Asti is famously served at weddings and there’s a reason for that. For one thing, it’s floral nose and gentle sweetness pair nicely with a wedding cake or many styles of Italian cookies. Second, weddings tend to be held in the warmer months, and the refreshing aspect of Moscato plays right into that. The Vietti is a delicious sipper to boot because its sweetness level is very low.
