Brilla Sparkling Moscato

Brilla Sparkling Moscato is Italy’s answer to “something sweet, something celebratory, something easy” — a gently fizzing, light-bodied sparkler made from the famously aromatic Moscato grape. It’s as happy alongside brunch as it is toasting a birthday.

Pour it and you get a straw-gold glass throwing up a fine, lively bead. The nose is unmistakably Moscato: orange blossom and white flowers over ripe peach, pear and a twist of citrus. On the palate it’s softly sweet and fruit-forward, the bubbles keeping everything bright rather than sugary, before a clean finish that leaves you reaching for the next sip.

Serve it well chilled in a flute. That natural sweetness makes it a dream with dessert — fruit tarts, lemon sorbet, panna cotta or flaky pastries — but it’s just as good as a low-fuss aperitivo, the base for a mimosa, or simply a cold glass on a warm afternoon. At this price, it’s the sort of bottle worth keeping on hand for whenever the mood turns festive.
