neutral  Giles Watson: "Piemonte" and "moscato" are better left untranslated and while some people might wash down (= "annaffiare" ma a tavola, non durante l'elaborazione!) their apricots with Moscato, that's not what the phrase means.
1 hr
  -> That's why I put "washed down" into brackets. I don't know if the apricots are washed down on not.

apricots in 10% vol. Moscato D.O.C. wine from the region of Piedmont


Explanation:
Another alternative.
D.O.C. could be D.O.C. (Registered Designation of Origin) but it becomes a bit long IMO.

neutral  Giles Watson: "10% vol." would refer to the alcohol content of the wine but the minimum for Piemonte Moscato DOC is 10.5%. Actually I suspect the 10% refers to proportion of wine in the product, not the alcohol in the wine.
1 hr
  -> Well these links are both Moscato at 5,5% vol: http://www.decanter.va.it/vino_varese/specifiche_prodotti.as... & http://italian-flavor.com/italiano/prodotti/vino/dessert.php... What else would the % refer to?

agree  Letizia Merello

  -> Thank you Letizia:-)
agree  PB Trans: "Moscato Piemonte" is the name of the wine. You could specify "dessert wine" for greater clarity (especially on a menu). Also I prefer "D.O.C." without the periods (i.e. "DOC") http://tinyurl.com/3f46lv

  -> Thank you Pina - yes, I agree about the inclusion or not of "(dessert) wine" but not sure of Asker's context - and agree that "DOC" is often used
agree  Giles Watson: "5.5%" refers to acquired alcohol, of which Piemonte Moscato DOC must have between 5.5% and 7% but total alcohol has to be at least 10.5%. You can find the production protocol online in PDF format.
1 hr
  -> Thank you Giles :-) - yes, I see, I thought 5.5% seemed a bit low.
agree  Desiree Bonfiglio
