Saracco Moscato d’Asti is a sweet, gently sparkling white wine poured at Grappa in Seattle’s Queen Anne neighborhood. Made by the Saracco family in Castiglione Tinella, in the heart of Italy’s Piedmont region, it is a benchmark for the style: low in alcohol, lightly fizzy, and brimming with white flowers and ripe orchard fruit. We keep it on our list because it is one of the most charming ways to end a meal, or to brighten a spicy dish.

About the Winery

The Saracco estate sits in Castiglione Tinella, a hilltop village in the Moscato heartland of Piedmont. The family has farmed Moscato Bianco here for generations and is widely regarded as one of the finest producers of Moscato d’Asti. Their approach is precise and gentle, designed to preserve the grape’s natural aromatics and delicate fizz.

Region & Grape

This wine comes from the Piedmont region in northwest Italy, made entirely from the Moscato Bianco grape. The cool hillside vineyards and limestone-rich soils give the wine its signature lift and freshness. Moscato d’Asti is made in a frizzante (lightly sparkling) style with gentle effervescence and modest alcohol.

Tasting Notes

The aroma is floral and fragrant, with white flowers, fresh peach, apricot, and a squeeze of citrus. On the palate it is sweet but never cloying, kept lively by a soft, frothy sparkle and bright acidity. The finish is clean, fruity, and refreshing.
