La Spinetta Moscato D'Asti Bricco Quaglia DOCG 2025

Jeb Dunnuck (90)- "Lightly sweet and gently sparkling, the 2025 Moscato D'Asti Bricco Quaglia pours a bright pale silver/yellow hue and remains one of the most charming wines in the range year after year. Aromas of lychee, dewy fresh flowers, peaches, white pepper, and candied citrus lift from the glass. Medium-bodied, it’s refreshing and clean, with a refined mousse and a crisp finish. Bottled under screwcap, it’s highly versatile and best enjoyed over the near term. Drink 2026-2028."

La Spinetta Moscato D'Asti Bricco Quaglia DOCG 2024

Jeb Dunnuck (92)- "This cuvée is typically a benchmark of this style, and the 2024 Moscato D'Asti Bricco Quaglia does not disappoint. I encourage readers to have this with salumi and cheeses rather than dessert. It’s lifted on the nose with fresh fruit, candied flowers, wet stone, and candied peach. The palate is refreshing without ever feeling cloying and has a refined mousse that not many capture, with refreshing acidity and a lovely, clean finish. Delicious for near-term drinking."

La Spinetta Moscato D'Asti Bricco Quaglia DOCG 2021

Wine Advocate (90)- "Closed in a screw-cap bottle, the 2021 Moscato d'Asti Bricco Quaglia shows foamy beading and a soft texture with mature peach, preserved lemon, sweet almond paste and soapy flower. The wine delivers soft sweetness that caresses the palate but never feels heavy, thanks to the wine's mild effervescence and its balanced acidity."
