Region
In the northwest of Italy lies the unique low alpine region of Piedmont (or Piemonte), which means `at the foot of the mountains`. Weather influences come from the Apennine Mountains and the Alps The region includes the small and prestigious hillside wine towns of Barolo, Barbaresco, Asti and Gavi, where a diverse variety of well-known wine styles originate. Some of Italy`s most revered and expensive red wines come from the Nebbiolo grape, grown alongside Barbera, Dolcetto and for white wines Moscato and Cortese.

Winegrowers, partners, friends.

They have just one goal. an absolute and constant quality standard, the result of agronomic choices aimed at sustainable, selective vineyard management focused on achieving perfectly ripe fruit.
Tasting Notes
This delightful, gently sparkling Moscato d`Asti from Vite Colte is the perfect accompaniment to almost any sweet dessert offering. Made in stainless steel tanks to protect the beautiful aromatics of the variety, the grapes are fermented at low temperatures to control the fermentation and retain the lower ABV and residual sugar that the wine is known for. The nose is elegant, complex and aromatic, showing plenty of fresh fruit and floral characteristics. The palate exhibits well balanced elderflower and blossom notes with a finish redolent of the muscat fruit.
Food
Excellent with desserts, cream cakes and patisserie. Excels with traditional Langhe desserts such as hazelnut semifreddo with a caramel sauce, pear gratin or Torrone and apple fritters.
