Although Piedmont quickly brings to mind the Barolo region, there are also small winegrowers producing excellent quality wine. The Acquesi cooperative was founded in 1952. They process grapes from over 500 different winegrowers. Quality is, of course, paramount, so the winegrowers operate under strict regulations. The wine cellars are located in Acqui Terme, which explains the cooperative's name. The vines for this wine are planted in the hills of Monferrato and Nice. Thanks to the altitude, the grapes remain wonderfully fresh. The soil structure and the fluctuations between day and night temperatures also greatly contribute to the quality of the wines. This ensures that the wines can age perfectly, resulting in full-bodied wines.
The Moscato grapes are rigorously selected and carefully harvested. After harvest, the grapes are sorted again on the sorting table. After maceration, alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks. Finally, the dessert wine is aged for another two to three months in stainless steel tanks. After a few months of patience, it's time to enjoy this refreshing wine.
It has a light straw-yellow color in the glass, with beautiful bubbles floating in the air. The aroma is elegant and fresh, with a characteristic grape note. The Moscato d'Asti Casarito has a subtle, slightly sweet flavor, and the grape character is beautifully pronounced. Ideal as an aperitif or with a dessert like apple pie or fresh fruit.
