PAOLO SARACCO 2009 MOSCATO D' ASTI - PIEMONTE - 750ML

The 2009 Moscato d'Asti reveals awesome richness and complexity in its expansive layers of white peaches, smoke, minerals and flowers. Multiple shades of expression continue to emerge as this superb Moscato opens up in the glass. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2010.
Paolo Saracco is a reference-point producer for first class Moscato..

Castiglione Tinella is a bit off the beaten track for visitors traveling to Piedmont, but it is here in this gorgeous hillside town that some of the most profound Moscatos are found, particularly those of the talented Paolo Saracco. While I generally advise drinking Moscatos young, I have also tasted a number of four to five year-old bottles here that have aged beautifully, although, of course at that age the wines no longer have the sheer charm they did when they were young. Simply put, Saracco is a reference-point producer for Moscato. The wines are a staple at my dinner table.
