Vietti Cascinetta Moscato d’Asti 2023

Vietti is one of the biggest names in Italian wine. You may remember when we offered their world famous Barolos or the ‘Derthona Timorasso’ earlier this year. None of those were as affordable as this.

Vietti itself is the combination of two winemaking families with decades of experience — the Viettis and the Currados. It started off as just the Viettis as Carlo took over from his father Marco. But Carlo only had a daughter, Lucianna, who ended up marrying the winemaker and art loverAlfredo Currado. He brought about many of the changes the winery still enjoys today.

Many credit Alfredo for the winery wresting ‘2022 Winery of the Year’ from Antonio Galloni of Vinous. It’s hard to argue with that.

Their Moscato d’Asti is absolutely electric. It’s probably because they put a ton of time and energy into this wine. It comes exclusively from tiny vineyards rich with limestone in Castiglione Tinella, with the average age of the vines over 40 years. That’s not typical for Moscato in this region, and that’s why no one’s Moscato d’Asti is coming close to this.
