Tenuta Travaglino – Dorato – Sparkling Moscato I.G.T.

Golden yellow color with fine greenish hues. The scent is very aromatic, fruity and broad with hints of mint and limoncello. The fresh but decisively sweet taste pleasantly recalls the flavours of “wild peach”. “Joyful” wine for dessert that goes perfectly with pastry. Appreciated even outside meal as simply “WINE-BREAK”. Serve at 10/12 ° C.
