Cossetti Moscato d’Asti 75cl
AED 65.00
This Italian white wine from Piedmont offers a lively fizz and fragrant notes of peach and apricot, characteristic of Moscato d’Asti. Its naturally sweet, low-alcohol profile makes it an ideal choice for light desserts or refreshing summer sipping.
Cossetti Moscato d’Asti is the kind of wine you crack open when you want something bright, lightly fizzy, and dangerously easy to love—sweet without being syrupy, and fresh enough to keep you reaching for the next sip.
- Appearance: Pale straw with lively, fine bubbles that make it look as playful as it drinks.
- Nose: Big, happy aromatics—ripe peach, pear, orange blossom, and a little fresh grape sweetness that screams “one more glass.”
- Taste: Juicy stone fruit up front (peach, apricot), a pop of citrus zest, and a clean, grapey core—sweet, yes, but lifted by bright acidity so it doesn’t feel heavy.
- Body: Light-bodied and gently sparkling, so it stays refreshing even when you’re snacking.
- Finish: Short-to-medium and super tidy—fruit and floral notes linger, then it resets your palate for the next bite.
This is Italy doing what it does best: turning simple pleasure into a little moment. The lightly bubbly vibe makes it feel festive without trying too hard, and the aromatic Moscato character means the flavour shows up even when you serve it well-chilled.
When to pour it? Anytime dessert feels like a commitment. It’s a cheat code with fruit tarts, lemony sweets, panna cotta, or just a bowl of strawberries. Also weirdly perfect with salty snacks—think prosciutto, almonds, or a cheeseboard where you want contrast, not a palate workout.
If you’re usually “not a sweet wine person,” this is a smart place to test that theory. The sweetness is obvious, but it’s balanced by zingy freshness and that gentle sparkle, so it drinks more like juicy fruit and flowers than sugar.
Serve it cold, pour it into whatever glass you’ve got, and don’t overthink it. This is the bottle you open when you want the table to feel lighter, louder, and a little more fun.
Fun fact: Moscato d’Asti is typically made to keep its natural grape sweetness and low alcohol by stopping fermentation early and trapping a soft, natural fizz—basically, it’s intentionally “not finished” in the best way.
