Paolo Saracco Moscato d'Asti DOCG, Piedmont, Italy 2024

Description

The 2024 Paolo Saracco Moscato d’Asti DOCG from Piedmont, Italy, is a beautifully expressive example of this iconic semi-sparkling wine. In the glass, it shows a pale straw yellow hue with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is immediately inviting, bursting with aromas of orange blossom, ripe peach, and hints of sage and wild herbs.

On the palate, it delivers a delightful balance of sweetness and vibrant acidity. Flavors of juicy apricot, citrus zest, and honeyed melon are complemented by subtle floral and herbal undertones. The wine’s low alcohol content (around 5.5%) and delicate sparkle make it light and refreshing, never cloying. Its creamy mousse and clean, zesty finish leave you reaching for another sip.

Perfect as an aperitif or with desserts like fruit tarts and biscotti, this vintage is also versatile enough to enjoy on its own or with brunch fare. The 2024 release maintains Paolo Saracco’s signature elegance and freshness, offering a joyful and approachable expression of Moscato d’Asti that’s ready to enjoy now.
