The 2008 Moscato d’Asti Clarte is intensely mineral in this vintage, with a persistent vein of minerality that frames a core of silky ripe fruit. While not the most exuberant vintage of Clarte, the wine offers tons of elegance and balance. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2010. Stefano Perrone remains a reference-point producer for Moscato.Importer: The Rare Wine Co., Sonoma, CA; tel. (707) 996-4484
