MOSCATO D'ASTI AND ASTI SPUMANTI

MOSCATO D'ASTI AND ASTI SPUMANTI

Moscato d'Asti is aromatic semi-sparkling wine, typical sparkler, with a mild level of sweetness balanced by vibrant acidity. Moscato d'Asti also serves well as a dessert wine, but possesses enough versatility to be enjoyed as a refreshing aperitif. Both Asti Spumanti and Moscato d'Asti are best consumed within two years of the vintage.
While the sweet, fruity sparkle of Asti Spumanti garners instant recognition with most American consumers, relatively few are familiar with Moscato d'Asti, a very different effervescent wine from Italy's Piedmont region.
