94/100 WE

Tasting Notes


Brilliant greenish-yellow with fine, persistent effervescence.

On the nose very intense and varietal. Notes of orange blossom, yellow peach, and acacia flowers, balanced by savory hint of sage and fresh mint.

On the palate light body and sweet but electric. The acidity is zesty and citrus-forward preventing the sugar from being heavy. You'll find flavors of candied apricot, honeycomb, and tropical lychee. Clean, crisp, and surprisingly mineral for a dessert wine.

Serving: Best served well chilled at about 39–41°F (4-5°C).

Food pairing: classic pairing is with fruit tarts, cookies, hazelnut cake. It is spectacular with prosciutto and melon, Asian cuisine, and cheese, such as gorgonzola or other creamy cheeses.

The 2024 Elio Perrone “Sourgal” Moscato d’Asti DOCG is a gently sparkling, sweet white from Piedmont, made from 100% Moscato Bianco. Orange blossom, yellow peach and acacia open into candied apricot, honeycomb and lychee, with a zesty, citrus-driven freshness that keeps the sweetness light. At only 5.5% ABV it is easy and refreshing. It is available for delivery across Florida.

Elio Perrone is a family estate in Castiglione Tinella, where the Perrones have made Moscato since the end of the 19th century. Stefano Perrone, fourth generation and a former motocross racer, took over in 1989 and focuses on wines that reflect their individual vineyards. Sourgal comes from a single hillside vineyard on clay-limestone soils, and the grapes are hand-harvested in small crates. They ripen slowly on a north-facing slope, which keeps the acidity high and the aromas lifted.

Why buy it: if you think Moscato is too sugary, this one will change your mind. It is sweet but electric, with bright acidity and a mineral edge that make it feel clean and crisp instead of heavy. It is an artisanal, single-vineyard wine, not a mass-produced one, at a very approachable price, and its low alcohol makes it easy to pour for a crowd.

When to open it: a weekend brunch, dessert, or an aperitif on a warm Florida evening. It is a classic with fruit tarts and hazelnut cake, and it is spectacular with prosciutto and melon, spicy Asian dishes and creamy cheeses like gorgonzola. Serve it well chilled at about 39-41°F (4-5°C). It is made to be enjoyed young and fresh, so open it now.
