Batasiolo Bosc D’la Rei Moscato d’Asti 2020
From the esteemed Beni di Batasiolo winery in La Morra, Piedmont, the Bosc D’la Rei Moscato d’Asti 2020 is a charming, lightly sparkling white. Crafted from 100% Moscato Bianco, sourced from vineyards on chalky, calcareous soils in Asti, it’s hand-harvested and gently pressed. Fermented in stainless steel, it offers a pale straw hue with slight effervescence, reflecting Batasiolo’s dedication to quality.
Winemaking Process
Batasiolo’s careful craftsmanship defines this wine. The 2020 vintage undergoes gentle pressing and low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel, halted early to retain natural sweetness and delicate bubbles. No malolactic fermentation preserves vibrant fruit, creating a refreshing, aromatic Moscato d’Asti with low alcohol and a balanced, sweet profile, ideal for dessert pairings.
Tasting Notes

The nose reveals ripe apricot, honeysuckle, and white peach, with hints of citrus zest, honey, and sage. On the palate, it’s lightly fizzy and sweet, with modest acidity, lush fruit, and a clean, floral finish.
