Description
What type of wine it is
Moscato d'Asti Biancospino by La Spinetta is a sweet white wine that fully expresses the character of Piedmont. Produced exclusively from Moscato grapes and fermented in an autoclave, this Moscato d'Asti with a Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin (DOCG) stands out for its fresh and elegant profile, where the sweetness is always perfectly balanced. On the palate, it is soft and enveloping, characterised by distinct notes of peach and apricot, enriched by light citrus hints of mandarin and orange blossom. The delicate effervescence gives vivacity to the sip, leading towards a long and mineral finish.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in the heart of Piedmont, between the municipalities of Coazzolo and Castagnole delle Lanze. The grapes come from old vines cultivated according to the rigorous principles of organic farming, located at an altitude of approximately three hundred metres with a privileged southern exposure. This perfect climatic and territorial combination favours optimal ripening, defining the rich aromatic profile that distinguishes the wine. The marl-limestone soils, enriched with sandy traces, give a remarkable finesse and help to delineate the refreshing mineral texture perceivable during the tasting.
How it is produced
The processing is carefully designed to preserve the natural fragrance of the fruit. The process is based on fermentation in an autoclave conducted at a controlled temperature for approximately one month. This specific oenological technique is essential for developing the wine's delicate effervescence and clearly enhancing the grape's classic floral and citrus tones. The wine maintains its varietal purity intact, revealing an intense yellow colour with greenish reflections in the glass and offering a perfect balance between softness and lively freshness.
History and curiosities
Founded in 1977 in Castagnole delle Lanze through the intuition of Giuseppe Rivetti, the La Spinetta estate built its prestige starting with Moscato. Biancospino comes from prized forty-five-year-old vines located between Coazzolo and Castagnole delle Lanze, cultivated using organic farming methods. Under the expert guidance of oenologists Giorgio and Andrea Rivetti, this vegan label celebrates the pure authenticity of the Piedmontese territory. Today, the winery boasts a rare qualitative excellence, widely and consistently awarded by international critics.
