Cantine Volpi Moscato Piemonte DOC 2024
From the historic Cantine Volpi in Tortona, Piedmont, the Moscato Piemonte DOC 2024 is a delightful sparkling white showcasing the region’s heritage. Crafted from 100% Moscato Bianco, sourced from Colli Tortonesi vineyards on clay-calcareous soils, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in stainless steel. Gently fizzy with low alcohol, it offers a pale golden hue and vibrant sweetness.
Winemaking Process
Volpi’s century-long expertise shapes this wine. The 2024 vintage undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel to preserve fruit freshness, followed by a Charmat method for light effervescence. Minimal intervention ensures the Moscato’s natural aromatics shine, creating a sweet, approachable wine with balanced acidity.
Tasting Notes
A delicate, sweet sparkling white with vibrant fruit and floral notes, offering Piedmont charm.
The nose reveals ripe peach, candied tangerine, and honey, with hints of orange blossom and white flowers. On the palate, it’s lightly fizzy and sweet, with melon, pear, and citrus zest, balanced by refreshing acidity and a soft, acidulated candy finish.

While specific 2024 reviews are pending, Volpi’s Moscato consistently earns praise. Prior vintages scored 90 points from James Suckling for their floral intensity and balance. CellarTracker users average 89 points, noting its vibrant sweetness. Critics laud its food-friendly versatility.
