WINE DESCRIPTION

Fontanafredda Briccotondo Moscato d'Asti is a delightful Italian wine produced by Fontanafredda, a renowned winery located in the Piedmont region. This wine is made from Moscato grapes grown in the Asti appellation, which is known for its ideal vineyard features such as the hilly terrain, moderate climate, and well-draining soils. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the best grapes, followed by a gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the wine's natural aromas and flavors. The resulting wine is a light-bodied, sweet and refreshing style with notes of peach, apricot, and honey, making it a perfect choice for aperitifs or desserts.
