Brazilian sparkling wine is gold in world Moscato competition

Brazil has reason to toast. The Ponto Nero Cult Brut Moscato sparkling wine, from the Ponto Nero winery, of the Famiglia Valduga Group, won the gold medal at the 23rd annual Muscats du Monde wine competition, held in Entre-Vignes, France. The competition is considered the most important in the world for wines made from Moscato, one of the most aromatic and versatile grapes in viticulture.

The Brazilian sparkling wine was one of the two national labels that received maximum recognition this year, among more than 200 samples from 20 different countries. Ponto Nero Cult Brut Moscato is an exclusive product, which mixes the classic and the modern, with an uncomplicated, light and fascinating tone. It is the only brut on the market made 100% with the Moscato varietal, which extracts the best of its terroir, bringing to the palate the evidence of all the fruit aromas in perfect balance with acidity. On the nose, notes of citrus fruits, such as lime, pineapple and melon, predominate. There are hints of orange blossom and a delicate presence of mango.
