TASTING NOTES

This is a classic Moscato d’Asti with low alcohol, delicate sweetness and gentle fizz. It is fragrant of apricot, lychees and orange blossom and has juicy fruit flavours. Traditionally served at 8-10oC as an aperitif or with dessert.

SEASON

2017 Asti was not immune to the challenges of the 2017 vintage, which was one of the hottest and driest on record throughout many regions in Italy. Frosts affected some Asti vineyards in spring, leading to slightly lower yields. The warm, dry season led to an early harvest of with good ripeness and flavour.

WINEMAKING

The grapes were hand harvested at the end of August and into September. A slow fermentation at low temperatures promotes vibrant fruit flavours and delicate aromas. The ferment is arrested at 5% alc/vol, retaining a level of natural sweetness, and the light fizz - called frizzante in Italian - is added via Martinotti method in pressurised tank.

THE REGION

Piemonte

The hilly region of Piemonte in north-western Italy produces some of Italy’s most powerful red wines, but it is also famous for the delicate sparkling wines of Asti, the ancient city in the Monferrato hills.

Piemonte translates as “foot of the mountain”, in this case the Alps, and the patchwork of appellations is determined primarily by altitude and aspect.
