Tasting Notes

Pale sunshine yellow color and slight frizzante, this Moscato d’Asti has intense aromas of peaches, rose petals and ginger. On the palate, it is delicately sweet and sparkling with balanced acidity, good complexity and a finish of fresh apricots.

About the Winery

Though the idea for conceptualizing Vietti wines was sown during the 19th century, the brand started making its own wines only during the beginning of the 20th century. The first wines from the Vietti label were made during 1919 by Patriarch Mario Vetti, and the label has grown from strength to strength since then. By the 1950s, the Vietti winery became one of the top-producing wineries in the Piemonte region. By this time, this Italian wine label had also started exporting its wines to the USA.
