NV Giulio Cocchi Americano Aperitivo, Piedmont, Italy

Made to the same recipe since 1891, this Moscato-based aperitif wine has long been a staple of Asti. In Piedmonte, it is served chilled with ice, a splash of soda and a peel of orange. It's a splendid pairing with all kinds of pickles, nuts, charcuterie and cheeses.
