The light, slightly sweet wines of Moscato d'Asti have found their footing in the past few years. The fragrant aromas of white blossoms and ripe peaches are intoxicating.

This lovely wine will always be lower in alcohol and sweeter than the more famous Champagne, but those reasons are why it is so graceful.

In Northern Italy's Piedmont region, the town of Asti and a few surrounding provinces produce Italy's most popular sparkling wine, Moscato d'Asti. These wines are famous worldwide for their delicate sweetness and carbonation, making them immensely approachable and endlessly enjoyable.
