This is a sparkling dessert wine from Italy. Light golden ginger ale color. The flavors were honeydew melon and tangerine but light, clean and fresh. Not overly sweet as some dessert wines can be. Made of 100% Muscat which is cultivated not only to produce wine but also as table grapes. When vinified it produces wines that are light and crisp. This version pairs well with desserts that are not very sweet like a fruit tart. Perfect for summer.

Dear Sirs
I hope you can help me. I have just returned from Malta and in a restaurant there I was lucky enough to be recommended your Muscato D’asti, and I am now completely in love with it.
I have tried various wines shops here but without success.
Can you please let me know where in London, UK, I can purchase this sumptious wine?
I look forward to your reply with inerest.
