IL PROGETTODOCMOSCATO DI SARDEGNAAAIT82545107Denominazione di Origine Controllata

No strip issued. I'm still hunting a bottle.

A regional DOC designed for sweet sparkling Moscato in the Asti mould, made by tank fermentation to keep the grape's aromatics. Expect pale gold, orange blossom, grapey fresh must, ripe peach and a light, frothy sweetness balanced by decent acidity, at low alcohol. It's a holiday and dessert wine for the island and very little leaves Sardinia.

Still hunting

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.

If you make Moscato di Sardegna, import it, or know who does, the form takes two minutes and I reply to every one.

Can you help me get one?
