SOMMELIER
Moscato d'AstiCHEF'S NOTES
Here's a combination you'll find at ice cream makers: nougat-pistachio-black currant-lemon. Now think of these flavors in an unusual version consisting of a mousse made in a bain-marie, whipped, and made into jelly to create contrasting textures that delight the senses.
