Moscato d’Asti: The Characteristics<\/h2>\n

Bass Tuba Moscato d’Asti DOCG Bava is highly aromatic, with a rich explosion of floral and fruity scents.<\/p>\n

Its intense, sweet, and persistent taste, with good acidity, brings to the glass the essence and fragrance of the grapes from which it is born, shaped by its production area. Our Bass Tuba Moscato d’Asti comes from the hills of Alta Langa<\/strong>, with a cool climate and good thermal excursions, which favour the development of terpenes and aromas.<\/p>\n

Its low alcohol content<\/strong> makes it very versatile. Alongside the traditional consumption in combination with desserts, at the end of a meal, it can also become an elegant ingredient for a summer cocktail or a refreshing sorbet.<\/p>\n

An Alternative Pairing for the Holidays: Bass Tuba Moscato d’Asti and Bonet<\/h2>\n

The aromaticity of Bass Tuba Moscato d’Asti DOCG pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the bonet, a spoon dessert based on cocoa and amaretti<\/strong>, similar to pudding, but with a more granular consistency, traces of which date back to the Middle Ages (when, however, cocoa was not yet known in Europe, and this dessert was widespread in a white version).<\/p>\n

Its preparation is quick and simple: here is the recipe, as handed down in our family.<\/p>\n
