| | Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti wines should be drunk young and fresh. | | | The main difference between the Asti Spumante DOCG wines and the Moscato d'Asti DOCG wines is that fermentation of Moscato d'Asti wines is stopped sooner so that the residual sugar content is higher, the alcohol level is lower, and the wine is less effervescent because less carbon dioxide is produced. | | | Asti Spumante shares this DOCG with a related wine, Moscato d'Asti, which is made similarly, but in a |

| | Mondoro Asti is best reserved for toasts (well suited to this purpose, as many drinkers, especially with the American sweet tooth, do not care for Champagne) or dessert, where it makes a lovely accompaniment to, among other dishes, king cake, angel food, and vanilla ice cream, without the cloying quality of a true dessert wine. | | | (Asti with baked ham should be a classic pairing.) Being about as sweet as Beringer White Zinfandel, it's probably a bit too sweet to be served as a table wine. | | | Perhaps too sweet to serve as a table wine. |

| | Reading a Champagne Label |
| | American producers use the word to indicate that the wine is made in the style of Asti Spumante. | | | Most sparklers exhibit pale tints of gold or yellow because they are made from a blend of grapes and do not take color from the grape skins; but there are rosé, pink or salmon colored wines. | | | Sometimes the choice of grape will impact the sweetness level (as in Asti Spumante). |

| | In the Piedmont region of Italy where the wine is made, and throughout the rest of Italy, Asti Spumante is taken for what it is: A sweet, sparkling, simple wine, made from very fragrant Muscat grapes, that tastes delightful with light fruit desserts or all by itself. | | | Suspecting the American audience needed a fresh introduction to the wine, the makers of Asti Spumante changed its name a few years back... | | | And that's why it's good to know that something slightly better than Asti exists -- a wine with a slightly higher pedigree, slightly better taste, and most important of all, a slightly more refined name: Moscato d'Asti. |
