Vietti Moscato d'Asti 2024 is an exquisite expression of Piedmont’s cherished Moscato grape, crafted by the esteemed Vietti family, whose legacy spans four generations in the Langhe region. This wine is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and a profound respect for tradition, with grapes sourced exclusively from hand-harvested vineyards in Castiglione Tinella, planted on limestone- and clay-rich soils that impart distinctive minerality.
Produced using 100% Moscato d’Asti grapes cultivated with the Guyot system, the vines average 40 years in age, ensuring depth and complexity. The vinification process is carefully controlled, employing natural cold decanting and fermentation halted at 5.5% alcohol to preserve the wine’s vibrant freshness, delicate bubbles, and aromatic intensity. The result is a bright straw-yellow wine with shimmering golden highlights.
On the nose, this Moscato bursts with inviting aromas of ripe yellow fruits such as peach and apricot, complemented by floral notes of rose petals and acacia flowers, along with subtle hints of ginger. The palate is sweet yet elegantly balanced, featuring modest acidity and a complex structure that finishes with fresh apricot and a touch of sage leaf, leaving a lingering, chalky sensation.
Renowned critic Antonio Galloni praises Vietti for consistently raising the bar in Piedmont, highlighting the estate’s unprecedented quality and consistency. This Moscato d'Asti is a benchmark example of the style, though produced in limited quantities, making it a coveted gem among fine Italian sparkling wines.
Enjoy this wine as a refined aperitif or pair it with Asian cuisine, lobster, creamy desserts, fruit-based pastries, or blue cheeses to elevate your dining experience. Its delicate sweetness and lively effervescence make it an ideal companion for warm-weather sipping and sophisticated gatherings.
