Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Moscato d'Asti the same as sparkling Moscato/Asti Spumante?
- No — Moscato d'Asti is gently frizzante (lightly sparkling) with lower pressure and alcohol than fully sparkling Asti Spumante, and is typically sweeter and more delicate.
- What's the ideal serving temperature?
- Serve well chilled, around 6-7°C, in a smaller glass to preserve the aromatics and gentle bubbles.
- What does it pair with?
- Fruit tarts, light cakes, and traditional Italian pastries; it's also a nice counterpoint to spicy dishes.
