Moscato d'Asti, sweet treasure of the hills of Piedmont, tells Italy like a story whispered at dusk. With its delicate bubbles and its summer orchard fragrance, it embodies that art of living that transforms every sip into a memory. Behind its golden sparkle lies a centuries-old heritage, shaped by families of winemakers who perpetuate a unique know-how.
Born around Asti, on sun-drenched hills, Moscato d'Asti comes from the Moscato Bianco grape, one of the oldest in Italy. This light and naturally sweet wine reflects a culture deeply rooted in tradition. Its particular winemaking method – the famous Asti method – consists of slowly fermenting and stopping the fermentation to preserve the subtle effervescence and the naturally fruity aromas of the grape.
Upon opening the bottle, Moscato d'Asti releases a vibrant bouquet: white flowers, ripe peach, delicate citrus, and a hint of sage. On the palate, balance is its secret: an elegant sweetness, never heavy, carried by a lively freshness and fine bubbles that caress the palate. It is a wine that speaks to the heart as much as to the senses, ideal for moments when one wishes to surprise or celebrate without formality.
To select an exceptional Moscato d'Asti, just a few guidelines are needed: favor renowned areas like Canelli, look for the DOCG mention, and opt for a recent vintage to fully enjoy its aromas. At the table, it excels with light dishes, fruity desserts, or shared gourmet moments among friends. Its low alcohol content also makes it an ideal companion for those who wish for a tasting that is all about sweetness.
