You want something sweet, fragrant and not heavy on the head? This is your bottle. Asconi Moscato smells like a peach orchard and drinks like a treat, all at a gentle 7% so you can have a glass (or three) without the night running away from you. It's the wine for dessert, for a hot afternoon on the balcony, or for that friend who swears they "don't really like wine."
Pop the cork and you get a proper hit of perfume: ripe white peach, apricot and orange-blossom, with a whisper of honey behind it. On the tongue it's juicy and openly sweet, more peach and crisp apple with a flick of citrus zest. What saves it from being syrupy is a little squeeze of acidity that keeps things lively, so the finish lands clean rather than sticky. Low alcohol, high charm.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Asconi, a family winery in the village of Puhoi, about 25km south of Chișinău in Moldova. Moldova is one of the oldest wine countries on earth, even if it flies under the radar. Asconi was founded in 1994, planted over 500 hectares of vines themselves, and now turns out around 3 million bottles a year. The Muscat (Moscato) grape they use is famous for one thing: that intense, grapey, floral aroma you smell the second you open the bottle.
