Details
Calling all lovers of blue skies and sweet sunshine in a glass — your summer wine has arrived! The Quarisa Moscato bursts with bright and sunkissed fruit, exotic garden florals and ginger spice — there’s nothing shy about this wine. Nectar, peach, rose water and lychee fill out this medium-bodied with a slight effervescence. If you wanted something sweet and refreshing, you got it.

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: Italy doesn't have a monopoly on this special style, with great examples being made all over the world.

Pairing guide
Sweet juicy vibrant, Moscato. This wine style can sure be blissful summer day companion, and lucky for us, not only is it easy to drink on its own but it can also enhance a lot of tasty cuisines! Naturally, this wine is going to go brilliantly with spicier Asian fare (especially Sichuan dishes, Korean, and Thai classics). Alternatively, pair it with something fresh, light, and salty - we love this wine with salt cod fritters, cheeses such as feta and goats’ cheese, and various antipasto favourites.
