Amazingly delivered! I personally use Brachetto d'Aqui more than a Moscato di Asti. Less ppl have heard about it and I just love that fresh red berry profile!
Just wanted to say I spent a very enjoyable Sunday evening going through the backlog of these videos with a glass of Pauillac. They balance numbers with maps without ever getting boring or dry - so thank you.
Just one glass of Pauillac? Mon Dieu! Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to watch the vids. I really appreciate hearing from people that benefit from them. Thanks again and cheers!
Thanks for the question. Both Asti and Moscato d'Asti are made by the same method, the Partial Fermentation or Asti Method. It's very similar to Charmat with the main differences being that the unfermented or partially fermented must is kept chilled in tank until the producer wants to make a batch of wine and then the must is warmed up and fermented until the desired alcohol/pressure/sugar level is reached. The wine is then filtered and bottled. Astis ferment longer than Moscato d'Astis, so their pressure and alcohol levels are higher while their sugar level is lower. Hope that helps. Cheers and thank you for watching and commenting!
Very nice presentation and introduction to the Piedmont :) this is a beautiful region with excellent wine quality! thanks a lot for sharing :) New subscriber (#1,197) here and happy to support your channel! Have a good one and come see my content some day :) cheers!
Thanks for stopping by and for the compliment. You have a terrific channel as well; I just subscribed -- let's be honest, all of this vino can be hell on the waistline, so I could use a few new exercise routines. Cheers!
The best helpful knowledge. Thank you, very interested in wine regions and different grape variety. Super!
I so appreciate your podcasts. As a Dip4 student they reinforce what I am
Learning.

I think Brachetto is lovely with things like sweet-sauced BBQ or Chinese-style BBQ pork. It's definitely an underappreciated pairing option. Cheers!
Never stop
Not planning on it. Thanks and cheers!
