Wine Recommendation: The low-alcohol (5 percent), off-dry 1999 La Spinetta Moscato d'Asti Bricco Quaglia from Giorgio Rivetti is sweet without being cloying, and its fruit aromas and nutty overtones point up similar flavors in this subtly sweet dessert. The wine's elegant crisp bubbles also provide a delicious contrast to the whipped cream accompaniment.
