Massolino Moscato d’Asti 2023 375ml

Description

Given its luxurious beginnings, Italy’s Massolino Moscato d’Asti is as fine of a moscato as one can find. Growing from a extremely small plot of land (1.5 hectares), this Moscato is hand harvested from the calcareous soils of Serralunga d’Alba. The wine that results is savoury and complex, not to mention extremely delicious. The 2023 is meadow-fresh and intensely flavoured, with beautifully articulated orange blossom, chamomile, white fruits and yellow peach accompanied by a buoyant mouthfeel, chalky structure and oodles of energy. There are many great things to write about Massolino, a family winery based in Serralunga d’Alba. As I reflect on these wines, I am struck by the harmony and perfection of the overall portfolio: the clear identity of each product and its placement within the Massolino quality pyramid and the crescendo of wines that culminates with a truly memorable single-vineyard Barolo. The portfolio has a few unexpected surprises too, such as a very elegant Moscato d’Asti. – Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate The Finer Details Style – White Wine Varietal – Muscat Country – Italy Region – Serralunga d’Alba Vintage – 2023 Bottle Size – 375ml ABV – 5%
