Closed in a screw-cap bottle, the 2021 Moscato d'Asti Bricco Quaglia shows foamy beading and a soft texture with mature peach, preserved lemon, sweet almond paste and soapy flower. The wine delivers soft sweetness that caresses the palate but never feels heavy, thanks to the wine's mild effervescence and its balanced acidity.

Closed in a screw-cap bottle, the La Spinetta 2020 Moscato d'Asti Bricco Quaglia opens to fragrant aromas of honeysuckle and star jasmine, and the wine also shows some of the soapy intensity that plays into the inspiration for the grape's name, Moscato. One theory says the name comes from a derivative of Latin for "musky." Subtle tones of crushed mineral also appear on the softly sweet palate. This is a 100,000-bottle production.

Compared to the Biancospino, La Spinetta's 2019 Moscato d'Asti Bricco Quaglia (closed in a screw cap bottle) shows added freshness and a vibrant character.

The mouthfeel is silky and sweet, with soft, foamy bubbling, nicely balanced sweetness and crushed mineral. The alcohol content is a low 4.5%, and 11,000 bottles were produced.

Reminiscent of a wheat beer, with a yeasty edge to the lychee, floral and spice notes. Lemony acidity keeps this balanced and fresh. Drink now. 5,000 cases made.??–AN??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Moscato d'Asti Select to Add
