Vineyard & Winemaking Notes

The wine growers of Asti pride themselves on pairing the land with the grapes most suited to each other, and Piedmont’s cooler northern climate is perfect for growing Moscato. As a Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) wine, it is exemplary of the land and soil of Piedmont. Spumante or “foaming wine” in Italian refers to all Italian sparkling wines and can be made in two ways. The metodo classico or classic method allows for a secondary fermentation to occur in the bottle resulting in the bubbles. The metodo charmat or tank method is where the wine is put into a sealed tank to ferment.
