The ‘genuine product’ with the prestigious DOCG denomination, which, in addition to guaranteeing the origin of the product, is also only given to the area wines that have a tradition of delivering top quality wine. Only the finest muscat/moscato variety may be used here, namely moscato bianco (muscat blanc á petit grains), which is fermented in a pressure tank giving much better bubbles than if the carbonation had been added, as you see in the cheapest imitations. Asti spumante has a higher pressure than its other family member, moscato d’asti, which is only lightly sparkling. Therefore, asti spumante is then also bottled in a champagne (type!) bottle to be able to withstand the pressure of approx. 3.5 bar, which the wine holds after bottling.
Scanavino Asti Spumante has a lingering nutmeg aroma with golden citrus fruit, especially bergamot, held in a sweet, floral style that is balanced by a good freshness from tartaric and carbonic acid.
The highly aromatic wine is particularly useful as a versatile dessert wine, but is also a preferred weapon for wreath cake, student parties and romantic moments.
