Emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of peach blossom, apricot jam and elderflower, and candied lime with a medium body and a medium finish with notes of peach, sweet cucumber salad, and sweetened lime on watermelon salad. Fruity, floral, and goes down very easily; the perfect accompaniment for tea time or a garden party.

About
Piedmont Asti Spumante
Asti Spumante is Italy's largest producing appellation and a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in southeastern Piedmont. Made from Moscato Bianco grapes (aka Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains in France), these sweet sparkling wines boast bountiful apricot, peach, and honey notes. Asti Spumante is usually 7-9.5% ABV, truly sparkling, and not to be confused with Moscato d'Asti which has a lower ABV and is only slightly sparkling ("frizzante").

Gancia NV Asti DOCG rating was calculated by to be 87 points out of 100 on 8/4/2023. Please note that MSRP may have changed since the date of our review.
