In the Italian Piedmont region the sweet sparkling wine, Moscato, has a long history and ordinarily accompanies dessert.
Moscato is generally consumed from a coupe style glass, but another alluring peculiarity of this region might be that sweets made of hazelnuts are submerged in the sweet sparkling drink and thus consumed.
In this glass the wholly sweet, light sparkling wine`s balance of sweet and sour is greatly harmonized and pleasantly finishes off mouse or a sweet frothy dessert.
This glass` wide mouth shape is not recommended for dry champagne. Due to the shape a splendid bouquet cannot be fully experienced.
In this glass champagne must be sucked out, and in doing so (due to the increase of pressure on the scant surface of the champagne) the occurence of a second oxidation regrettably veils the full experience.
The shape of this glass gives the feeling of sweetness as well as enhancing the bitterness of dry sparkling wine, but at the same time it also tends to deplete the meaning of high quality champagne.
