Marco Porello is a family winery founded in the 1930s. It is located in the heart of Piedmont, Italy's quintessential wine region. When people think of Italian wines, they often immediately think of Veneto, Tuscany, or Puglia; however, it's Piedmont that holds several records. For example, this region in northwestern Italy boasts the highest number of DOC and DOCG wines, surpassing all other Italian wine regions.
Marco Porello is located in the heart of Piedmont, boasting beautiful vineyards in every region of Piedmont, from Barolo to Arneis and Barbera. The vineyards for this white wine are situated around the village of Asti. This region has gained international fame primarily for its Moscato d'Asti, a sweet and sultry sparkling white wine. If you're a fan, Porello's Moscato d'Asti version is well worth a try.
As with all Moscato d'Asti, the residual sugar content is kept high. This gives this wine its accessible and aromatic character. This is also the case with this Marco Porello wine. However, the bouquet is sweet, but never cloying. This makes this lightly sparkling wine also highly recommended for a lavish dessert. You can smell and taste everything in this Moscato d'Asti: ripe white grapes, overripe nectarines, and beautiful white flowers. A touch of tropical fruit reveals itself on the palate. Highly recommended with desserts featuring fresh strawberries.
