Fontanafredda is one of Piedmont''s most recognisable names, and it has made a delicious wine in its Moscato d''Asti. Enlivening and low in alcohol (5%), it is crammed with notes of orange blossom, peach, nectarine, sherbet, grape and elderflower. Amazingly concentrated flavours. £13.95

Fontanafredda’s Moscato d’Asti is a cut above its competitors, with intense orange, grape and pear aromas that lead into a palate of white grapes and ground cherries. The medium finish is intensely sweet but an underlying freshness saves it from being cloying. Drink with a plate of mixed fruit.——W.E.(2/1/2010)—— 86
