On a radiant summer day, with the blue sky as a backdrop, I had the pleasure of opening a bottle of La Spinetta Bricco Quaglia Moscato 2022. This wine, a jewel of Piedmont, is the perfect embodiment of the balance between sweetness and freshness .
La Spinetta's Moscato, with its intense aromas of ripe fruit and white flowers, invites you on a unique sensorial journey. On the palate, it reveals a delicate sweetness, balanced by a fresh acidity that makes it surprisingly refreshing and never cloying.
To accompany this nectar of the gods, I chose a dessert that could reflect its elegance and lightness: a fresh fruit tart. The crunchy, buttery shortcrust pastry, covered in a light custard and crowned with a cascade of colorful fruit, was the perfect complement to the Moscato. Each bite of the tart, with its mix of sweetness and acidity, intertwined harmoniously with the delicate bubbles and aromatic profile of the wine.
The tasting took place in an atmosphere of serenity and joy, with Moscato adding a touch of magic to every moment. It was a celebration of the beauty of summer, authentic flavors and the art of pairing wine and food to enhance each other.
