A crisp, sparkling, delicately sweet bouquet followed by a remarkable fresh palate featuring brilliant peach and pear flavors. Traditionally a dessert wine, but also perfect as an aperitif or as an afternoon refreshment with Sunday brunch.

First released in 1977, La Spinetta’s ‘Bricco Quaglia’ Moscato d’Asti was the first ever single vineyard bottling of Moscato in Italy. This vineyard is organically farmed without the use of herbicides or pesticides. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled vats for an average period of 3 months.

This cuvée is typically a benchmark of this style, and the 2024 Moscato D'Asti Bricco Quaglia does not disappoint. I encourage readers to have this with salumi and cheeses rather than dessert. It's lifted on the nose with fresh fruit, candied flowers, wet stone, and candied peach. The palate is refreshing without ever feeling cloying and has a refined mousse that not many capture, with refreshing acidity and a lovely, clean finish. Delicious for near-term drinking.
