Carlin de Paolo Moscato d'Asti – Moscato d'Asti DOCG – Sparkling – 2023:

 

Piemonte’s Jewel: Carlin de Paolo Moscato d’Asti DOCG

The Carlin de Paolo Moscato d’Asti DOCG is an elegant, low-alcohol (5.5% ABV) white wine from the esteemed Piemonte region of Italy. Unlike its fully sparkling counterpart, Asti Spumante, this wine is a frizzante-lightly bubbly-offering a delicate mousse and a purity of fruit that is instantly charming. It represents the Carlin de Paolo family’s commitment to quality over four generations.

Tasting Notes (Sommelier)

• Appearance: Pale straw yellow with a subtle, clear brilliance.
• Nose: Highly fragrant and expressive, unveiling classic Moscato Bianco aromas of white flowers, honeyed apricot, fresh pear, and a whisper of lemon citrus.
• Palate: Light and lively, with a moderate, natural sweetness kept in check by a refreshing backbone of acidity. The gentle effervescence adds a perky lift to the mid-palate, leading to an elegant, clean, and lengthy finish.

Pairing & Service

This wine is traditionally served chilled (8-10°C) with classic Italian pastries, making it a natural choice for festive occasions and post-dinner indulgence.

• Classic Pairings: Panettone, Sablé biscuits, Meringues, Fresh Fruit Salad.
• Adventurous Pairings: Mild blue cheese, or to complement the sweet-and-sour complexity of Cantonese dishes.
