La Spinetta, under the meticulous guidance of Giorgio Rivetti, is a producer celebrated for its profound commitment to expressing Piedmontese terroir through exceptional winemaking. Their Bricco Quaglia Moscato d'Asti represents a distinguished single-vineyard bottling from a privileged site within the esteemed Moscato d'Asti DOCG. This appellation, nestled in the rolling hills of Piedmont, is dedicated to crafting aromatic, low-alcohol, and gently effervescent wines exclusively from the Moscato Bianco grape.
The 'Bricco Quaglia' vineyard, a term often denoting a steep, sun-drenched slope, provides optimal conditions for the Moscato Bianco to achieve phenolic ripeness while retaining its characteristic aromatic intensity and vibrant acidity. The winemaking process involves a partial fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel, a technique crucial for preserving the grape's inherent freshness and delicate sweetness, culminating in its signature frizzante style. This 2025 vintage promises a pristine and expressive rendition of this classic Piedmontese dessert wine, reflecting both varietal purity and site-specific nuance.
Tasting notes
The 2025 Bricco Quaglia Moscato d'Asti presents a luminous straw-yellow hue, animated by a fine and persistent effervescence. The bouquet is intensely aromatic and captivating, revealing classic notes of orange blossom, ripe peach, apricot, and a subtle hint of sage, underpinned by a delicate minerality. On the palate, it is exquisitely balanced, with a refreshing sweetness harmonized by a lively acidity and a gentle, invigorating fizz. Flavours of stone fruit and citrus zest persist through a clean, aromatic finish, making it an ideal accompaniment to fruit tarts, panettone, or as a sophisticated aperitif.
