In Piedmont, where Moscato d’Asti comes from, the locals drink red wine almost exclusively while eating. In fact, the thought of serving Moscato d’Asti with savory foods seems outrageous to them. However, across the world, we see Moscato d’Asti combined with international cuisines and a variety of different dishes, from seafood to poultry-based courses.

Moscato d’Asti is made with the Asti Method used exclusively in Asti, Piemonte to produce sweet sparklings. The difference between the Asti Method with the Tank Method is that only one alcoholic fermentation is involved. After harvesting, a simple Muscat wine is created. This base wine is immediately chilled and stored. When required for the production of the Moscato d’Asti, it is warmed and fed into pressurized tanks to undergo fermentation.Moscato wines from the area of Asti have their homeland in Canelli, a small town close to the Langhe wine region where the production of a sparkling wine from the Charmat/Martinotti method started in the nineteenth century. The Elvio Tintero winery produces this fruity delicacy, which immediately gives off an aroma of ripe apricot and peach. The fruitiest ones of our examples, Sori Gramella is a great accompaniment to cheeses, fruits and tarts, giving a pleasant and cheerful atmosphere to the end of the evening or picnic by the lakes.
