Asti DOCG Unveils New Rosé Sparkling Wine

Wine Industry Advisor reports that Asti Rosé has now been formally approved, while Montenapo Daily says the new wine will be made from 70 to 90 per cent Moscato grapes destined for Asti DOCG and 10 to 30 per cent Brachetto grapes destined for Brachetto d’Acqui DOCG. The new style adds a notable category to one of Italy’s best known sparkling denominations, and producers will be able to position it across styles from sweet to extra brut, with an inaugural toast planned at Vinitaly.
