La Caudrina Asti La Selvatica Spumante

Producer: La Caudrina  
Region: Asti, Piedmont, Italy  
Varietal: Moscato Bianco (Muscat) 
Year: Non-Vintage 

Importer Notes: 

"La Selvatica is the Dogliotti family's Asti Spumante, made from a single vineyard near their winery. Asti is made very similarly to Moscato, but the fermentation is taken further, so the finished wine differs from Moscato d'Asti in that the alcohol is slightly higher (7%), the residual sweetness is lower, and there are more bubbles. Some people drink this as an off-dry aperitif; I love it with cookies or by itself after dinner. Dangerously addictive, you have been warned."  

About the Producer: 

"Romano Dogliotti is the owner of La Caudrina in the Asti region of Piedmont, just east of the Barolo zone. The Dogliotti family has worked the land since 1900 (seven generations), and they were one of the first small growers to bottle their own wine, in 1940. Now Romano and his sons produce one of the very best examples of Moscato d’Asti and the only artisanal Asti Spumante." 

Alcohol: 7%
