The 2009 Moscato d’Asti Clarte' is a pure, crystalline Moscato laced with minerals, white peaches and jasmine. There is an energy and drive to the Clarte’ I find particularly appealing. The finish is impeccable and totally refined. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012.
Proprietor Stefano Perrone makes reference-point Moscatos. Readers who want to discover the true heights Moscato is capable of must put Perrone on their short list.
