FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
What is the specific origin and winery of this sparkling white wine?
This distinguished spumante is produced by the prestigious and historic Dezzani winery. Its specific origin rigorously comes from the prestigious delimited area of Asti, protected by the DOCG appellation in the emblematic Piedmont region, Italy.
Is this wine dry, semi-dry, or sweet?
Dezzani Asti Spumante is a strictly sweet wine. It is characterized by retaining the natural and fruity sugars of the Muscat grape thanks to its cold-controlled production method, offering a creamy and round experience on the palate.
Why does it have a lower alcohol percentage than other sparkling wines?
Due to the traditional Asti method, fermentation is intentionally stopped early. This means that much of the grape's sugar is not converted into alcohol, resulting in a light wine (around 7% Vol.) purely focused on enhancing the primary aromas of the vineyard.
How long can I store this Asti Spumante in my cellar?
Like most aromatic sparkling wines based on Glera or Muscat grapes, it is designed to be consumed young, which is when it displays its maximum floral and fruity freshness. It is advisable to enjoy it within 1 to 2 years of purchase, storing it in a cool, dark place.
