What is the name of this Italian wine?

This Italian wine tastes like Asti, but both its taste and alcohol are a little stronger than Asti.

What is the name of this Italian wine?
It might be a "moscato", or "moscato amabile" ("amabile" means sweet).





I don't think it's a prosecco, as the first answerer said, since prosecco is dry, while Asti spumante is sweetish. You didn't specify, however, whether the wine you mean is a sparkling wine also.





Asti spumante is just one of many wines made from white "moscato" grapes.


Here is a Wikipedia page with a listing of Italian DOC and DOCG white moscato-made wines; maybe you'll recognize the one you're looking for:

Key:


"secco" = dry


"amabile" = sweet


"passito" = a raisin wine


"spumante" = sparkling wine, like champagne


"tranquillo" = still (non-sparkling)


"frizzante" = semi-sparkling


"liquoroso" = denser, like a liqueur
