General Information
Cascina Fonda Moscato d’Asti is a lightly sparkling wine (frizzante) from the heart of the Piedmont region, in northern Italy. This wine is made from 100% Moscato Bianco, an aromatic grape variety that has been cultivated in this region for centuries and is known for its floral and fruity character.
The wine is produced using the Charmat method, with a single fermentation in a closed tank stopped when the desired sweetness level is reached. The result is a wine with a soft mousse, low alcohol content (usually around 5%), and lively fruit expression.
