What Is Asti Spumante?

Let’s clear this one up, because people ask all the time: what is Asti Spumante?

Asti Spumante is a sweet, sparkling wine made in Asti, Italy, from the Moscato Bianco grape. It’s known for having:

• natural sweetness

• lower alcohol

• juicy fruit flavors

• soft, gentle bubbles

Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante is one of the most recognized examples of this style. It’s an easy “party bottle,” especially for people who like sweeter wines and don’t want something dry or bitter.

Taste & Aroma

Aroma: White peach, ripe pear, honeysuckle, and orange blossom
Palate: Sweet pear, apricot, and candied citrus with lively bubbles
Finish: Smooth, sweet, refreshing, with a touch of honey

This is not a dry Brut-style sparkling. Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante leans fruity and lush. It tastes like summer fruit and sunshine.

If you’ve got guests who say “I don’t usually like champagne because it’s too dry,” pour them this.

Is Asti Spumante a Champagne?

Short answer: No, Asti Spumante is not Champagne.

Here’s why:

• Champagne legally has to come from the Champagne region of France.

• Asti Spumante comes from the Asti DOCG in Piedmont, Italy.

• The grapes are different. Champagne is usually Chardonnay / Pinot Noir / Pinot Meunier. Asti Spumante is made from Moscato Bianco.

So while people may casually call it “Italian champagne,” it’s technically an Italian sparkling wine, not Champagne. That’s part of why you get that juicy Moscato-style sweetness.

Asti Spumante vs Prosecco

Another big one: Asti Spumante vs Prosecco — what’s the difference?

• Asti Spumante:

  • Made from Moscato grapes

  • Sweet and lower ABV

  • Strong peach, pear, floral, honey notes

  • Great with dessert or on its own

• Prosecco:

  • Usually made from Glera grapes

  • Typically off-dry to dry

  • More crisp green apple and citrus

  • Often higher in alcohol and less overtly sweet

So if you’re looking for something sweeter and more perfumed, Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante wins. If you want something crisper and less sweet for brunch mimosas, Prosecco might be your move.

Serving & Pairing

How to serve:

• Chill it well (fridge-cold). Asti Spumante tastes best very cold.

Great with:

• Fruit tarts, cheesecake, panna cotta

• Brunch pastries like croissants and French toast

• Toasting birthdays, showers, holiday mornings, New Year’s

Because Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante is sweet and lively, it doubles as both a dessert pairing and a dessert replacement.

When to Open This Bottle
