What kind of wine is Moscato d'Asti DOCG 2024 - Vietti?

The Moscato d'Asti DOCG 2024 - Vietti is a sweet and sparkling white wine, an emblem of Piedmontese excellence. It originates in the heart of the hills of Castiglione Tinella, one of the most suitable areas of the Langhe, where the Moscato Bianco grape expresses intense aromas and great freshness. The clay and limestone-rich soil provides a balance between aromaticity and minerality, distinctive characteristics of this wine. Light, lively, and fragrant, it captivates from the first sip with its pleasant sweetness and refined elegance.

Vintage Details

The 2024 vintage was characterized by balanced weather, with a regular spring and a sunny but not excessively hot summer. The day-night temperature excursions, typical of the Piedmontese hills, favored the development of the primary aromas of the Moscato grape, while preserving its natural acidity. The result is a wine that combines aromatic intensity with extraordinary gustatory finesse.

Vinification and aging

The harvest is done manually to select only the best bunches. The must is kept at a low temperature in stainless steel tanks to prevent spontaneous fermentation. During the year, small quantities are transferred to an autoclave to start controlled fermentation, which is interrupted by rapid cooling to preserve the natural residual sweetness and aromatic fragrance. The wine does not undergo wood aging: the entire process aims to preserve the freshness and varietal purity of the Moscato Bianco.
