If you ask me to recommend a slightly sweet sparkling wine, Pio Cesare Moscato d’Asti is definitely one of the best choices. It is made from 100% Moscato grapes, which shows aromas of honey and ripe fruit notes. The sweetness is balanced with fresh acidity, and good to pair with the traditional deep-fried treats served in Chinese New Year, such as Sesame Balls, Cripsy Dumplings, and "Smiley" Cookie Balls. The freshness of the wine will cut through the greasy mouthfeel.
Pio Cesare was established by Cesare Pio, the great-great-grandfather of the present owner, more than 135 years ago in 1881. It is one of the earliest wine producers in Piemonte, has been focusing on terroir and quality in winemaking until now. You could tell by this well-structured frizzante wine, with fruity notes and round body, both classic and traditional.
