Description

"A good Asti is about loads of succulent flavours, and this wine delivers just that. It's fabulously aromatic on the nose showing nectarine, rockmelon and ripe citrus characters, followed by a richly flavoured palate with elegant sweetness and balanced acidity. Quite irresistible. Low alcohol of 7.5% makes this a great anytime wine." Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"This quaffable muscat-based bubbly from Italy’s north-west fits well with a luxurious dessert like pavlova. Gancia has a little more dimension than most of its Asti peers. Apple custard, floral and crushed grape aromas are perfect precursors to a deliciously sweet, soft mouthful, backed by mouth-watering, zippy acidity." Cusine Magazine

"Perfect with Christmas pud or mince pies, this medium-sweet Italian sparkler is a foil for their richness with its lemony fresh, floral and bright grapey character. It also makes for an excellent aperitif." Viva, NZ Herald

"Italy is best known for vino rosso (red wine) rather than low alcohol bubbles, but there’s no shortage of frizzante (lightly sparkling wine) made there and this vibrantly fresh, intensely aromatic, light bodied bubbly was one of the top wines of the entire tasting, for me. It tastes so pure that you get a delicious sense of the grapes in this low alcohol drink-me-right-now bubbly. It is off dry with extremely good balance and a lingering finish. Serve well chilled in proper wine glasses to enjoy its full aromatic deliciousness." Joelle Thomson

Straw yellow colour with golden reflexes.. The perlage is fine and persistent. Aromatic bouquet with hints of exotic fruit, sage and honey. Sweet, fruity and balanced like the grapes of origin.

Combination with food: Perfect for desserts but can be used as a sweet aperitif
