Product Notes

Vietti Cascinetta Moscato d'Asti is a sweet and refreshing Italian white wine made from the Moscato Bianco grape variety. Produced in the Asti region of Piedmont, this wine boasts a pale golden-yellow color and a bouquet of fresh flowers, ripe peaches, and orange blossom. On the palate, the wine offers flavors of honey, apricot, and lychee, with a sparkling and delicate effervescence. The low alcohol content of just 5.5% makes it a perfect dessert wine or aperitif, and it pairs well with fruity desserts, light salads, and spicy Asian cuisine. This wine is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a delicious and elegant wine.

Tasting Notes

Bright straw-yellow colour with slightly shimmering hints of gold. Intense aromas of ripe yellow fruit (peach, apricot), floral notes (rose petal) and hints of ginger. Sweet and delicate on the palate, with modest acidity, and good balance and complexity. Hints of fresh apricot on the finish.

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.
