Celebrate springtime with this versatile sparkling Moscato from Asti, which is ideal for enjoying with brunch, as an afternoon patio sipper, and with fresh fruits, light, less sugary desserts, and blue cheeses. It has a delicate sweetness, with juicy peach and apple flavors tinged by floral, dried apricot and crystallized ginger notes. At just 5.5 percent alcohol, it’s easy to drink — too easy! — and invigorating. Be sure to serve it well chilled.
