Pop the cork and you basically get a fruit bowl in a glass. This is sweet Italian Moscato, soft and lightly fizzy, tasting of ripe peach, pear and wild honey with a little floral lift. At 5.5% it is barely there on the alcohol front, so it's the bottle you reach for when you want the fun without the fog. Brunch that drifts into afternoon, a birthday cake moment, or a slow Friday on the balcony. Get it cold, get it open, and it does the rest.
The nose is pure Moscato: grapey and perfumed, with orange blossom and a honeyed sweetness that smells like dessert before you've even sipped. On the palate it's soft and creamy with a gentle, playful fizz that keeps the sweetness from ever feeling heavy. Think ripe peach and pear, a touch of wild honey, and a fresh herby whisper of sage on the finish. Sweet, yes, but bright with it, so it goes down dangerously easy.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Cantine Capetta, a family winery in Santo Stefano Belbo, right in the Moscato heartland of Piedmont in northwest Italy. Francesco Capetta started it back in 1953, the son of farming folk who'd spent generations coaxing wine out of the Langhe hills. Today they work with well over a hundred local growers across those same hills, and Moscato is their bread and butter. The Piemonte DOC stamp on the label just means it's the real deal, grown and made in the region under its rules.
