{"product_id":"vietti-moscato-dasti","title":"Vietti Cascinetta, Moscato d'Asti DOCG, Italy","description":"\u003cp\u003eForty-year-old Moscato Bianco vines rooted in the limestone-clay hillsides of Castiglione Tinella provide the foundation for Vietti's 2025 Cascinetta Moscato d'Asti. Rather than fermenting the grape's natural sugars to dryness, the estate carefully interrupts fermentation in pressurised stainless-steel tanks, preserving an unusually expressive combination of ripe stone-fruit aromatics, natural sweetness and delicate effervescence. The resulting wine carries 127.5 g\/L of residual sugar, balanced by 6.8 g\/L of acidity and a gentle 2.5 bar of pressure. White peach, apricot, rose petals and a subtle ginger accent unfold across a supple, lightly sparkling palate, with lively acidity keeping the finish fresh and defined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Moscato Bianco\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol Content:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5% ABV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResidual Sugar:\u003c\/strong\u003e 127.5 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Acidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.8 g\/L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5 bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Source:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small vineyard parcels in Castiglione Tinella\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAverage Vine Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 40 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Composition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Limestone and clay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVine Training:\u003c\/strong\u003e Guyot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Density:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 4,500 vines per hectare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReported Vineyard Yield:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 65 hL\/ha\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-harvested grapes, according to the producer's technical sheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gentle pressing followed by natural cold settling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMust Handling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unfermented must held in chilled stainless-steel tanks to prevent premature fermentation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcoholic Fermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Conducted in pressurised stainless-steel tanks (autoclaves), retaining naturally produced carbon dioxide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFermentation Management:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fermentation arrested by rapid cooling, followed by filtration to preserve natural grape sugars and aromatic freshness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMalolactic Fermentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brief maturation in stainless-steel tanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiltration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Filtered before bottling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClosure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural cork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDietary Suitability:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contains sulphites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Eugenio Palumbo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePale straw yellow with soft golden reflections and a delicate stream of bubbles. The bouquet is intensely aromatic, opening with ripe yellow peach, apricot and rose petals, followed by hints of ginger, citrus and lychee. The palate is sweet yet lively, its generous stone-fruit character balanced by bright acidity and a gentle, persistent sparkle. A supple texture gives way to a clean, fragrant finish of fresh apricot, peach and lightly spiced floral notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker's Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEstablished in Castiglione Falletto in the late nineteenth century, Vietti developed its reputation through generations of the Vietti-Currado family, becoming one of Piedmont's most influential producers. Alfredo Currado helped pioneer the modern revival of Arneis and the estate's early single-vineyard Barolo bottlings, while its artist-designed labels became a distinctive part of the winery's identity. The Krause family acquired Vietti in 2016 and subsequently expanded its vineyard holdings across some of Piedmont's most celebrated sites. Today, winemaker Eugenio Palumbo oversees the estate's winemaking, maintaining the precision and vineyard-focused approach that defines its portfolio. Cascinetta reflects that philosophy through the careful preservation of Moscato Bianco's natural aromatics, sweetness and freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe chilled at 6–8°C in a tulip-shaped white wine glass to concentrate its floral aromas while allowing the fine bubbles to develop. Its natural sweetness makes it a particularly good match for peach tart, apricot pastries, panna cotta, fruit salads and delicate sponge cakes. It also pairs well with fresh cheeses, mildly spicy Asian dishes and fruit-based desserts. Enjoy as a light aperitif or at the close of a meal, preferably while young to appreciate its vibrant fruit and aromatic freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buena Vida Wine \u0026 Spirits","offers":[{"title":"2025 \/ 750mL","offer_id":67587933863991,"sku":null,"price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2699\/1632\/files\/Vietti_Cascinetta_Moscato_d_Asti_DOCG_Italy_2025.png?v=1792130272","url":"https:\/\/www.winedispensary.com\/products\/vietti-moscato-dasti","provider":"Wine Dispensary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
