Asti Acquesi
Asti Acquesi is a sweet sparkling wine produced by Acquesi 1952 S.R.L., a winery established in 1952. Holding the prestigious DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) classification, this Italian wine is crafted with an alcohol content of 7%. The wine has received notable international recognition, securing the World Champion title at The Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships in both 2019 and 2020.
The wine is produced using the Moscato grape, a variety frequently cultivated in Piedmont, Italy, as well as in California. In winemaking, Moscato is traditionally utilized to create light and sweet wines.
This production originates from Asti, a central wine area in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. Asti is highly regarded for its sparkling Moscato wines, with the local DOCG covering both fully sparkling Asti Spumante and the lower-alcohol Moscato d'Asti. Piedmont, translating to "at the foot of the mountain," is surrounded by the Alps and stands as one of the world's most prestigious wine regions. The area is characterized by dramatic, steep hills that are often enveloped in thick morning fog during the autumn, a natural feature that protects the grapes and facilitates a long ripening process. The region is celebrated for its passionate, family-run wineries and a profound focus on how the soil and microclimate shape the terroir.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Piedmont
Piedmont (which literally means "at the foot of the mountain") is located in northwestern Italy, surrounded by the Alps. It is considered one of the world's absolute most prestigious wine regions. The area is known for small, passionate, family-run wineries and a huge focus on terroir (how the soil and microclimate affect the wine).
Classic characteristics of Piedmont:
The royal wines: This is where the world-famous, complex and expensive red wines Barolo and Barbaresco come from (both made from 100% Nebbiolo).
Everyday heroes: In addition to Nebbiolo, the region is famous for the grapes Barbera (juicy, acidic and incredibly popular) and Dolcetto (dark, soft and fruity).
The white and sweet: Piedmont also makes the crisp white wine Gavi and the famous, lightly sparkling dessert bubbles Moscato d'Asti.
The landscape: Dramatic, steep hills – especially in the Langhe sub-area. The hills are often shrouded in thick morning mist in autumn, which protects the grapes and allows for a long, perfect ripening.
Gastronomy: An absolute mecca for food lovers. The area is world famous for the exclusive white truffles from Alba, hazelnuts and rich, simmered dishes that scream with a glass of local red wine.
