Terracina (Moscato di Terracina) DOC
A DOC for a local Muscat strain grown on limestone slopes above the Terracina beaches. The dry version is the surprise: intensely grapey and floral on the nose (orange blossom, jasmine, lychee, sage) but bone dry and saline on the palate, like a southern Italian answer to dry Alsace Muscat. The amabile and passito versions add honey and candied citrus. Cantina Sant'Andrea makes the reference wines in all three styles.
