Vallebelbo Moscato d'Asti Sparkling Dessert Wine
Frizz-aunt-tay (It's just fun to say!)
Take your wine enjoyment to the next level with Moscato d'Asti, the perfect introduction to the effervescent (also called "frizzante") dessert wine.
If most of the wine you drink is prior to a meal or with a meal, you're not alone. But dessert wines offer an elegant, satisfying and often unexpected culmination to your dining experience. Clear the dinner dishes away and make room for Moscato d'Asti, one of our most popular dessert wines.
Think of the Vallebelbo as an approachable Champagne-like drink. Sweet and low in alcohol, it is categorized as a "frizzante" ... not fully sparkling, but instead offering a refreshing spritziness. Its subtle citrusy taste is perfect with milder desserts that aren't overly sweet. With a low alcohol level (roughly 6%, not 12-14% as with most wines), it makes a nice ending to a meal without going over the top.
It is a unique showstopper for any host, especially at a brunch, as many wine lovers have never experienced it. You'll be the star whenever you serve it, especially given it won a double Gold award at the 2010 San Francisco International Wine Competition.
