Posted on November 20, 2008 by RJ

La Spinetta, Moscato d’Asti DOCG, Bricco Quaglia 2007 This is a personal favorite from the legend. I was blessed to meet Rivetti before the skyrocket to fame. This wine remains an affordable way to taste some of this estate’s expertise. The White Muscat is sourced from Bricco Quaglia, the first single vineyard Moscato in Italy. The RS is 120 grams/litre and the wine is estate bottled in Castagnole Lanze 5.5% $14.49 at Bottle Barn and $16.99 at Traverso’s La Spinetta

    A Thanksgiving teaser and a crowd pleaser. Serve this wine and Aunt June will never miss another family gathering which you may be rumored to attend.

    Yes Misty, this wine never ceases to delight. I served it recently at a VESTA seminar in Missouri and it was a smashing success. RJ
