Zonin 20 Ventiterre Moscato Veneto IGT 750ml
Pop this and your glass fizzes with peach, ripe grape and a whiff of orange blossom. It's sweet, soft and gently sparkling, the kind of bottle that makes everyone at the table go "ooh, what's that?". At just 7% it's featherlight, so you can sip it long into the night without it knocking you sideways. Pudding wine, sundowner, surprise-guests rescue: this one does all three.
The nose is pure fruit basket: juicy white peach, fresh grape, apricot and a pretty little floral lift of orange blossom. On the tongue it's sweet and round, full of ripe fruit and a touch of honey, but there's enough zippy acidity underneath to stop it feeling sticky. The frizzante fizz is soft and tickly, not aggressive Champagne-style bubbles, more a gentle prickle that keeps every sip fresh. It finishes clean and fruity and leaves you wanting the next mouthful.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Zonin, one of Italy's biggest family-owned wine houses, going since 1821 in the Veneto in the country's northeast. The Moscato grapes are picked sweet, then the clever bit: fermentation is stopped early by chilling the wine down, which locks in the grape's natural sugar and keeps the alcohol low at 7%. No added sugar, no fortifying, just nature paused at the right moment. "Ventiterre" nods to the many wine territories Zonin works across Italy. It carries Veneto IGT, an Italian quality mark for wine made to the region's standards.

- What does Zonin Ventiterre Moscato Veneto IGT 750ml taste like?
Sweet, fruity and gently sparkling. Think ripe peach, grape, apricot and orange blossom, with a touch of honey and just enough acidity to keep it fresh rather than cloying.

It's 7% alcohol, which is properly light for a wine. That low strength is on purpose, so it's an easy, long sipper.

Ice cold, around 6 to 8°C, in a wine glass or flute. Serve it straight, no mixers, and drink it young and fresh.

Desserts are the classic match: fruit tarts, ice cream, sorbet and fruit salad. It also tames spicy food, so it's great with hot wings or peppery nyama choma.
- Is it sweet or dry?
Sweet, and proudly so. The natural grape sugar is preserved by chilling the wine before fermentation finishes, which is why it's sweet yet still low in alcohol.

Italy, made by Zonin, a family wine house running since 1821, in the Veneto region in the northeast.
