Vignalta Colli Eugenei Fior d’Arancio Spumante ($22)

This is a deliciously sweet, frothy sparkling wine with alcohol of just 6.5%: the kind of wine Italians give to their children to celebrate their birthday, just like Asti. It has 120g/l of residual sugar, and is made just like Asti. The grape variety is Moscato Giallo, for an aromatic, grapey, and slightly deeper coloured wine.
