Headily perfumed and more elegant than the Contero Moscato di Strevi just tasted. More gentle. Seems more fizzy too. Freshness is well balanced with the grapey sweetness.
The CO2, sugar and screwcap have preserved this wine remarkably after a decade in bottle. Still a pale lemon colour with lively, spritzy mousse, the nose is that of a much younger wine, with fresh grapes, lime blossom and candied lemon. This same sweet and moreish fruit leads the palate, which is slick with a light, bright mousse and gentle sweetness. It's an absolute pleasure to drink, a perfect way to start or end the night, with or without food.
