Moscato d'Asti

Although it has nothing to do with the French Muscat de Rivesaltes,
this Muscat is another outstanding wine made with the same grape.

This is a slightly sweet and sparkling wine with a low alcoholic degree, 5º. Anyway, you do not have the feeling that the amount of alcohol is below the reasonable limits, and the flavour is fantastic! Moscato d'Asti is a Denominazione di origine controllata wine produced mainly in the districts of Asti (north-west of Italy) and in smaller nearby regions in the districts of Alessandria and Cuneo.

It's worth to taste it and quite easy to find in specialized shops and super-markets.
