Score: 90Vintage 2024Vinous MediaThe 2024 Moscato d’Asti Scarpona opens with a mix of lemon zest, mint and green melon. It is soothingly round and confectionery within, with vibrant acidity to balance it out. Ripe pit fruits and an air of sweet spice linger as this tapers off cleanly.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2024Vinous MediaSweet herbs mix with crushed peaches and wet stone as the 2024 Moscato d'Asti Strev opens in the glass. It’s pleasantly sweet with a cascade of ripe apples and pears lifted by a minty herbal thrust. A bit short yet clean, this tapers off with mouthwatering freshness.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review

Score: 92Vintage 2020Wine EnthusiastThis savory, lightly sparkling dessert wine has intense aromas of ripe yellow peach, sage and orange blossom. The aromas carry over to the tangy, foaming palate along with blood orange and lemon drop candy. Vibrant acidity and energizing mineral notes keep it fresh and balanced.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 87Vintage 2020Wine AdvocateClosed in an easy screw cap bottle, the Marenco 2020 Moscato d'Asti Strev is floral and bright, with white rose, honeysuckle and chamomile. The wine offers just enough sweetness and soft foamy beading to give lift and intensity to those pretty floral and fruit-forward characteristics. This is a fun wine to drink with a dessert of peaches and ice cream.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
