I don't drink Moscato d'Asti often, but when I do, I prefer Tintero.
Easily the best Moscato d'Asti I've had, including everything I tasted while traveling in Piemonte. Sure, it's sweet. It's Moscato. But it's the least sweet Moscato I've had, and in perfect balance with everything else it had to offer. This had nice pear notes on the palate with more going on that many one-note Moscatos I've had. I'm guessing this might have been better a year ago, but it was just fine last week, and so I'm not worried about my last bottle. Will look for newer vintages.

Drank with a salad at home. This was still in good shape. Quite sweet, a bit too much for our taste. But sufficient acidity to offset. Solid

A very nice Moscato for $12. Sweet but with lifting acidity. Liked it better while the bubbles were still there.

Dangerously drinkable and bought for a song in PA (I think 7 bucks). Undeniable.
