Moscato Bianco – Langhe, Piedmont
Moscato Bianco is known for its distinct aromatic character with floral and fruity notes.

In the glass, this Moscato d’Asti shows a clear, pale yellow color with fine bubbles. The wine is known for aromas of white flowers, peach, and grape. The natural sweetness and fresh acidity keep the wine lively and balanced.
