2024 Umberto Fiore Moscato d'Asti DOCG

Umberto Fiore's Moscato d'Asti 2024 captures Piedmont's late-summer orchards in a gently sparkling pour. Hand-harvested Moscato Bianco grapes from limestone slopes ferment slowly at low temperature, locking in explosive aromatics while preserving a whisper of natural sweetness. The wine rests under pressure just long enough to form creamy, feather-soft bubbles that dance across bright acidity. Sun-ripened peach, honeyed apricot, and tangy mandarin peel glide over the palate, lifted by cool alpine freshness and a subtle hint of ginger spice. Each sip finishes delicately sweet yet refreshingly crisp, turning brunch tables, light desserts, or quiet evenings into sparkling occasions.

Nose: Orange blossom, white peach, and elderflower float above touches of fresh ginger and honeysuckle.

Palate: Lush apricot, pear sorbet, and candied citrus ride velvety bubbles, balanced by lively lemon-zest acidity.

Finish: Sweet but airy, leaving echoes of ripe mango, mint, and cool stone minerality.

Lovely with fruit tarts topped in berries, creamy panna cotta drizzled with passionfruit, or spicy shrimp pad Thai—the wine’s gentle sweetness and brisk fizz soothe heat and spotlight every luscious bite.
