There's one time one time only that I crave a moscato d'asti and that's when Jonathan makes a strawberry almond tarte. Today, we had both on the deck with my father-in-law and step-mother-in-law for Fathers Day. It was probably more vibrant a couple of years ago, but the extra gave it some additional almond notes which went even better with the tarte. At 5.5% alcohol, it felt weightless, even on a warm day outside. I advise everyone to reach for this when eating strawberry desserts of all sorts.

Moscato d'Asti face-off (Old Airport Road): Light straw yellow colour. Fresh white flowers on the nose, more expressive than the Vietti Moscato d'Asti. A bit more fizzy than the Vietti also. Honeyed pear on the palate, with lemon lime towards the finish. Very refreshing mouth-feel. Overall slightly more enjoyable than the Vietti. This is more of a "party-party" Moscato, the Vietti is more of a "chill-out" Moscato.

Mild nose of lightly scented flowers (?chrysanthemum). Honeyed pear on the palate. Very refreshing acidity. Smooth and with just the right touch of sweetness without being cloying. Medium finish.

Drank this during a Mother's Day Dinner at Pin Si.
Wine has a perfumed and aromatic nose. Typical notes of honey and scented flowers on the nose.
Palate was equally remarkable. The smoothness and sweetness of the liquor danced effortlessly on the tongue . For a Moscato d'Asti the body is on the heavy side, giving another dimension to balance the acidity and freshness.
A superb wine that does not need to try very hard to impress. Very enjoyable on its own or paired with light and sweet food.

Tasted @ Vinitaly 2013. Jumps out of the glass with masses of Moscato character. Beautiful spices, apple, grapey flavors. On the palate medium sweetness with a really beautiful refreshing acidity you don't find very often in Moscato. Fun!

Tasted at the Cantina. This was just bottled. Really tasty and delicious. Need to track some of this down. Slightly sweet and lightly bubbly. Serve this with some cheese.

Berry Bros. & Rudd Tasting - The Luxury Network (Audi Centre Singapore): Light floral nose. Honeyed pear on the palate. Refreshing acidity. Smooth and nicely sweet. Hints of lemon at the end. Medium finish.

Primary pear nose with some white flowers.
Sweet and smooth as hell with pretty refreshing acidity. Candied lemon, mead and pear marmalade. Yummy.
