Cantina Bricco Rosso - Moscato d'Asti 2024
Cantina Bricco Rosso belongs to the world of Manfredi, a Piedmontese family house established in Farigliano, in the heart of the Langhe. The family's history dates back to the early 20th century, with a winemaking activity passed down through several generations and deeply linked to the hills of Piedmont. The estate highlights the great regional appellations, between Langhe, Roero, and Monferrato, with an accessible, consistent approach faithful to local grape varieties. The Bricco Rosso range expresses this desire to offer frank, clear wines representative of their origin. With this Moscato d'Asti 2024, the house signs a sweet, low-alcohol, delicately sparkling cuvée, perfectly anchored in Piedmontese tradition. The Moscato d'Asti DOCG appellation is one of the most emblematic of Piedmont for aromatic white wines with fine effervescence. This wine seduces by its immediacy, freshness, and naturally gourmand character.
The Moscato d'Asti 2024 cuvée is made exclusively from Moscato Bianco, a historic Piedmontese grape variety for sweet and aromatic wines. This grape stands out for its ability to retain very expressive aromas of white flowers, fresh grape, stone fruits, and delicate citrus. The style of Moscato d'Asti is based on interrupted fermentation to preserve some of the grape's natural sugars, a low alcohol degree, and light effervescence. Unlike a more vinous or structured sparkling wine, it focuses primarily on aromatic brightness, controlled sweetness, and mouth freshness. The cuvée does not seek aging or woody complexity but a pure, immediate, and very fragrant expression of Moscato. The 2024 vintage thus highlights a tender, floral, and fruity profile, designed to be enjoyed young. It is a wine of pleasure, delicate and bright, retaining all the crunchy sensation of fresh grape.
In the glass, Cantina Bricco Rosso Moscato d'Asti 2024 reveals a clear pale straw yellow color, shiny, animated by fine and light bubbles. The nose opens with aromas of orange blossom, wisteria, linden, white peach, and fresh apricot. The palate is sweet, fragrant, and very accessible, with a discreet effervescence that lightens the sweet sensation. The balance rests on freshness, fruit, and gourmandise, in a tender but never heavy style. The finish evokes Muscat grape, yellow fruits, and a persistent floral touch, with great drinkability. This Moscato d'Asti will be ideal with a fruit tart, strawberry salad, brioche, panettone, almond cookies, or a peach and apricot-based dessert. It can also be served very chilled as an aperitif, for a light, festive, and low-alcohol moment.
