Moderato Colombard Cuvée Originale Sparkling is the sparkling expression within the Originale sub-range, and is described by the brand as the aperitif flagship of the wider Moderato portfolio. The wine is made from 100% Colombard sourced from the Gascony region of southwest France, a variety chosen for its naturally high acidity. To preserve that freshness and structure in an alcohol-free format, the grapes are harvested early in the season before sugar accumulation can soften the vine's natural character. Moderato was itself founded as a collaboration between a Cognac producer and a wine merchant, a pairing that informs the brand's emphasis on preserving primary fruit character in its wines.
