Asda, Extra Special Asti, Piedmont, Italy NV

At just £7 and 7% abv, this sweet, lightly sparkling wine from northern Italy is a delicious, traditional and wallet-friendly aperitif that's ideal for the festive season. You could even try serving it with a starter of seared scallops for a real treat. Soft white peach and mango flavours are balanced by good acidity and a prickle of petillance, and its 90g/l of residual sugar is barely apparent.
