Bera Moscato d’Asti DOCG
The grapes of this aromatic wine, with a delicate straw yellow color and a complex, elegant and musky nose, ripen in sunny, south to south-west well-exposed vineyards that brings sweetness, flavor and a long aromatic persistence inside the glass, recalling the flavor and taste of ripe Moscato grapes. It pairs well with desserts and in particular with creams, fruit tarts, and pastries.

Tasting Notes & Pairing Ideas
- Yellow straw color in a range of shades. Rich aroma that keeps the fragrance of the Moscato grapes, mixed with a slight scent of yeast and flowers. On the palate, lovely, sweet flavor harmoniously balanced with acidity and moderate alcohol, brightened by delicate froth.
- It is ideal with brioche, panettone, and French toast dusted with powdered sugar. It can also be served as an aperitivo or be paired with spicy Asian cuisine or delicately sweet desserts.
Winery profile
- Valter Bera represents the very best of small-scale Asti and Moscato d’Asti production in Piedmont. He has dedicated time and energy to making the wines of the Neviglie area known and appreciated.
- The family produces Moscato, Barbaresco, but also Dolcetto, BracchettoLanghe Nebbiolo, Barbera and Barbera Superiore.
- Moscato d’Asti and fully sparkling Asti are today almost exclusively produced by large wineries. Valter Bera strives to return this historic wine to its small-winery roots, which means producing these wines by hand rather than by automation as well as working with the Martinotti (Charmat) method on a much smaller scale than his competitors.
