Asti Secco is a Piedmont sparkling wine made from Moscato Bianco grapes, characterised by a distinctive aromatic profile but a drier taste than the styles traditionally associated with Asti and Moscato d'Asti.
In this category you will find a selection of Asti Secco wines from different producers and vintages, offering freshness, floral and fruity aromas, lively bubbles and greater versatility at the table.
It is an interesting choice for those who enjoy the aromatic character of Moscato but prefer a drier style suitable for aperitifs and a wide variety of savoury dishes.
Asti Secco retains the typical aromatic character of Moscato Bianco, with aromas that can include white flowers, citrus fruit, peach, fresh grapes and herbs, while offering a noticeably drier balance on the palate.
It is generally fresh, fragrant and easy to drink, with expressive aromas and lively effervescence that make it enjoyable both on its own and with food.
The final profile can vary according to producer, residual sugar and sparkling wine production techniques, resulting in lighter or more structured interpretations.
Asti Secco is made from Moscato Bianco, one of Piedmont's most important aromatic grape varieties and historically associated with the hills of the provinces of Asti, Cuneo and Alessandria.
Hilly vineyards, exposure and climatic conditions contribute to grapes capable of retaining intense aromas and good freshness.
The same grape variety is also used for Asti and Moscato d'Asti, but differences in style and production result in wines with very different levels of sweetness, pressure and overall character.
The main difference is style. Asti Secco is noticeably drier and less sweet than traditional Asti, while retaining the aromatic character typical of Moscato Bianco.
Moscato d'Asti is generally sweeter, lower in pressure and more delicately sparkling. Asti Secco therefore offers a fresher, drier profile with greater versatility at the table.
Thanks to its balance between aromatic intensity and dryness, Asti Secco works particularly well as an aperitif and can accompany appetisers, delicate cured meats, fresh cheeses, fried dishes, sushi and seafood.
Its aromatic character also makes it interesting with mildly spicy or sweet-and-sour dishes, while fresher styles can be served throughout a meal.
Our selection includes Asti Secco wines from different producers, with bottles chosen to showcase the various interpretations of this modern and versatile style of Piedmont Moscato.
Our aim is to offer a choice suitable both for those looking for an aromatic sparkling wine without pronounced sweetness and for enthusiasts interested in discovering a different expression of Moscato Bianco.
