La Spinetta Moscato d'Asti Bricco Quaglia 2025

La Spinetta Moscato d'Asti Bricco Quaglia 2025 is a beautifully aromatic sweet white wine that captures the charm of Piedmont’s Moscato tradition in an elegant, delicately lively style. Sourced from the sandy, calcareous soils of Bricco Quaglia, it stands out for its pure fruit character, graceful freshness, and unmistakable peach-and-apricot perfume. La Spinetta has been a benchmark producer since 1977, and this bottling reflects both the house’s precision and its long-standing respect for Piedmont’s native grapes.

Tasting Notes
Pale straw yellow in the glass, this Moscato offers an intensely fragrant nose of fresh peach, apricot, citrus blossom, and grape sweetness, with the variety’s classic musky lift in the background. On the palate, it is soft, sweet, and aromatic, with juicy stone fruit, gentle freshness, and a subtle natural liveliness that keeps it light and inviting rather than heavy. The finish is clean, fruity, and fragrant, with a delicate, easygoing balance that makes it especially appealing as a dessert wine or an aperitif-style sweet wine. Best enjoyed young to preserve its freshness and expressive aromatics, though it is made to be appreciated for its immediate charm rather than long-term aging.

Production
Bricco Quaglia is planted on sandy, limestone-rich soils in Piedmont, an ideal setting for Moscato Bianco/Moscato Reale, where the vineyard’s warm character helps develop the grape’s signature fragrance. The vines are vigorous and trained using the Guyot system, with harvesting taking place in mid-September. After gentle pressing, the must is kept cold at 0°C until fermentation, which proceeds at a controlled 18–20°C before being stopped by chilling at -3°C when the wine reaches around 4–5% alcohol. The wine is then filtered through sterile microfiltration and bottled, a method that preserves its freshness, prevents unwanted refermentation, and maintains the wine’s clarity and bright aromatic profile. Rather than aiming for full sparkling intensity, the production emphasizes a delicate natural vivacity that is typical of quality Moscato d’Asti.

Food & Serving
Serve well chilled, ideally around 6–8°C, to highlight its freshness and aromatic precision. It pairs beautifully with fruit-based desserts, panettone, almond pastries, cheesecake, and lightly sweet tarts, but also works surprisingly well with blue cheese, foie gras, or spicy Asian dishes that benefit from a touch of sweetness. Decanting is not recommended; this wine is best enjoyed straight from the bottle while it is fresh and fragrant.

Producer
La Spinetta was founded in 1977 in Castagnole Lanze, Piedmont, and has since become one of the region’s most respected names, known for its expressive wines and distinctive identity. The estate is particularly recognized for its commitment to native varieties and for the iconic labels inspired by Giorgio Rivetti’s admiration for Albrecht Dürer’s woodcuts, including the famous rhinoceros motif seen across much of the range. With wines like Bricco Quaglia, La Spinetta has helped elevate Moscato’s reputation by showing how refined and characterful the style can be.
