Moscato di Sorso-Sennori DOC

IL PROGETTODOCMOSCATO DI SORSO-SENNORIAAIT75567451Denominazione di Origine Controllata

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

A small DOC on the Romangia hills above the Gulf of Asinara, for sweet still and fortified Moscato rather than fizz. The wines are golden, with dried apricot, orange marmalade, candied citrus peel and honey, a soft texture and enough acidity to keep them from cloying; fortified versions add a warm, spirity finish. A few hectares and a couple of producers keep it alive.

Still hunting

I'm still looking for a bottle of this.

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

Can you help me get one?
