Ca d Gal Moscato d'asti Lumine 2022
From 30-35 year old vines, Lumine captures sunny notes of elderflower cordial, mandarin oranges and rose petals, illuminated by a lovely silver-gold effervescence on the tongue. Flavours of white peaches and pears melt on the tongue like cotton candy, perfectly light and balanced. Just a touch of frizzante bubble cleanses the palate. Drink joyously as an aperitif, as a sorbet-like palate-cleanser, with strawberries, fruit pastries, torta di nocciole (hazelnut cake) and zabaione al moscato (zabaione with nutmeg).
