The refreshment and fun factors are both high here, with plenty of white peach, lychee and mandarin fruit flavours really to the fore, backed up by a tickle of spritz. There's some floral elderflower kind of notes in there as well, and it all adds up to either the best breakfast wine ever, or if that seems irresponsible, then just a handy bottle to have in the fridge (but seriously - a bowl of fruit and a small glass of moscato... the perfect start to your Saturday).

Origin: Piedmont, in north-western Italy. Mainly Grown In: Italy, USA and Australia. Key Facts: The word 'moscato' is the Italian name for all varieties of Muscat grape, which is traditionally used for sweeter styles of wine. The most famous region in Italy is Asti, and thus the wine Moscato d'Asti is a popular one. This particular style is lightly effervescent and delicately sweet, and has become the touchstone for the now international style that simply goes by the name Moscato. A hugely refreshing style when made well, the wine is filled with delicate peach and mandarin flavours, with hints of honey and candied citrus. The sugar and hint of fizz are in superb balance, making the wine very easy to drink... a little too easy sometimes! To add to this, the style is typically made low in alcohol... did someone say breakfast? Fun Fact: More than lemonade for grown-ups, Moscato is the perfect match with most tropical or citrus fruit-based desserts.
