La Spinetta 'Bricco Quaglia' Moscato d'Asti, Piedmont, Italy

Bricco Quaglia is La Spinetta’s benchmark Moscato d’Asti, made from 40-year-old vines on chalky, sandy slopes in the Asti hills. A slow, cold fermentation in pressurized tanks is stopped early, leaving natural sweetness, a gentle fizz and only about 5% alcohol. Peach, apricot, mango, orange blossom and sage lead into a sweet but never cloying palate, with citrus zest, honey and a clean, minerally finish. Serve it with fruit desserts, panettone or a wedge of Gorgonzola.
