Asti Acquesi
Asti Acquesi er en mousserende vin fra den anerkendte italienske vinregion Piemonte. Vinen er produceret af Acquesi 1952 S.R.L., et vinhus der blev grundlagt i netop 1952. Vinen bærer den højeste italienske klassifikation, DOCG, og har opnået international anerkendelse, hvilket blandt andet understreges af titlen som "World Champion" i sin kategori ved The Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships i både 2019 og 2020.
Vinen har sin oprindelse i Asti, som er et centralt vinområde i Piemonte. Piemonte, der bogstaveligt talt betyder "ved bjergets fod", ligger i det nordvestlige Italien og er omkranset af Alperne. Regionen betragtes som en af verdens mest prestigefyldte og er kendt for sit enorme fokus på terroir, hvor jordbund og mikroklima spiller en afgørende rolle. Landskabet er præget af dramatiske, stejle bakker, der ofte er svøbt i tyk morgentåge om efteråret. Asti DOCG-klassifikationen dækker over områdets mousserende vine, hvor Asti-betegnelsen typisk gives til de fuldt mousserende udgaver.
Asti Acquesi er fremstillet på druen Moscato. Denne druesort er særligt udbredt i netop Piemonte og andre dele af Italien, men dyrkes også i områder som Californien. Vinen er fremstillet som en sød mousserende vin, hvilket på italiensk betegnes som "Dolce", og den har et alkoholindhold på 7 %.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Piedmont
Piedmont (which literally means "at the foot of the mountain") is located in northwestern Italy, surrounded by the Alps. It is considered one of the world's absolute most prestigious wine regions. The area is known for small, passionate, family-run wineries and a huge focus on terroir (how the soil and microclimate affect the wine).
Classic characteristics of Piedmont:
The royal wines: This is where the world-famous, complex and expensive red wines Barolo and Barbaresco come from (both made from 100% Nebbiolo).
Everyday heroes: In addition to Nebbiolo, the region is famous for the grapes Barbera (juicy, acidic and incredibly popular) and Dolcetto (dark, soft and fruity).
The white and sweet: Piedmont also makes the crisp white wine Gavi and the famous, lightly sparkling dessert bubbles Moscato d'Asti.
The landscape: Dramatic, steep hills – especially in the Langhe sub-area. The hills are often shrouded in thick morning mist in autumn, which protects the grapes and allows for a long, perfect ripening.
Gastronomy: An absolute mecca for food lovers. The area is world famous for the exclusive white truffles from Alba, hazelnuts and rich, simmered dishes that scream with a glass of local red wine.
