The 2023 Ceretto Vignaioli di Santo Stefano Moscato is from the appellation of Moscato d'Asti DOCG. The 100% Moscato grapes were grown on more than 100 acres of estate vineyards. The average age of the vines there is 30 years. The winery has been making this wine since the late 1970s, and it has been a popular bottling the whole time. Alcohol is quite low, at 5.5% abv, and the retail price is about $19.
This wine has a pale yellow color. The most noticeable thing about it is the incredibly fragrant nose, full of apricots, peaches and pears. The palate offers those sweet fruits as well, with the addition of a bit of earthiness wrapped around them. The acidity is brisk and the finish is sweet. Pair it with cheese, or just sip it, because it is a very nice sip.
