Marenco Moscato d'Asti Scrapona

"Straw yellow with intense aromas of citrus, apricot, fig and orange blossom; taste is pleasantly sweet and aromatic like the Moscato grapes it comes from. The alcohol content makes it a delicious and natural thirst-quencher anytime as well as a dessert wine par excellence; it also lends itself to unusual combinations with appetizers, raw fish and sushi." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review-Our best selling Moscato d'Asti bar none. The only problem with this bottle is trying to keep it on the shelf! The reason is simple, the Marenco family goes back for generations making these Moscatos with as much care and craftmanship as goes into any other high end wine. Not overly sweet at all, instead the sweetness evolves beautifully along with the fruit flavors that all occur naturally from the grape itself. Enjoy at dessert time but also consider this bottle alongside spicy Thai or Indian cuisine. Cheers!

"A fruity sparkling wine made from the finest 'Moscato Bianco' grapes grown in the heart of the prestigious Italian D.O.C.G. area. Top-quality ripe grapes from a single variety are fermented once only. The fermentation is stopped at two-thirds of its natural sugar potential. The resulting wine is low in alcohol, low in acidity, fresh, fruity and highly aromatic. This sparkling wine is a great partner to fruity desserts, pastry and ice cream." —winemaker

"Straw yellow with soft golden nuances. Aroma: intense, fresh, fragrant with orange flowers and sage at the forefront, and a soft background note of honey. Taste: pleasantly sweet, balanced, typical and lightly perky." —winemaker
