Discovering Italian Sparkling Wine: Moscato D’Asti
JC Viens introduces us to Romano Dogliotti la Galeisa this week.
JC Viens is a wine educator and holder of the prestigious Diploma Level 4, WSET and a certified International Bordeaux Educator. He is an avid wine lover and selects the Moscato D’Asti from Italy, origin of some of the most rewarding wines.
Moscato D’Asti is a delightful, intensely aromatic sparkling wine from the Piemonte region in the north-west of Italy. The “La Galeisa” from Romano Dogliotti is crisp and light and, with only 5.5% alcoholic strength, it has a delicate mousse and is slightly sweet. Made from the moscato grape, it is extremely perfumed and gives aromas reminiscent of spring blossoms, peach and pears.
Food Pairing:
It is perfect as an aperitif but can very well match delicate and perfumed Asian dishes and desserts made with fruits.
