TASTING NOTES

At a refreshingly light 4.5% alcohol, Moscato d'Asti from a good producer is one of the most enjoyable wines on earth. La Spinetta have produced one of the best here. It's medium-sweet, lightly sparkling and with good, fresh acidity. Have it on its own or, even better with a summer fruit brioche.

PRODUCER NOTES

La Spinetta uses no or the least possible amount of chemicals and keeps their production relatively small (only 17-20 hl (1.7 -2 tons) per hectare), giving priority to quality. Their vineyards were carefully selected, with very low yields. All of them have south, south-east or south-west exposure and the vines are mostly of old age (35-65 years). With no fining or filtration, they make wines with intensely concentrated fruit, that are not overpowered by wood. Outstanding.
