A Piedmont Classic Since 1863

Martini & Rossi was founded in 1863 in Piedmont, and its Asti is built entirely on Moscato Bianco from the steep, sun-exposed hills of the Asti zone — fruit picked and pressed quickly, with the juice held cold until fermentation is started on demand. That arrested-fermentation approach is what makes Asti DOCG unlike any other sparkling wine: sweet, grapey and light rather than dry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Martini & Rossi Asti sweet or dry? Sweet — it is a dolce-style Moscato spumante. Fermentation is stopped early so natural grape sugar remains, which is also why the alcohol is only 7.5%.

Is Asti the same as Prosecco or Champagne? No. Asti DOCG is a Piedmont appellation for Moscato Bianco made by a single tank fermentation; Prosecco is principally Glera from Veneto and Friuli, and Champagne is bottle-fermented wine from the Champagne region of France.

Why is the alcohol so low? Because the single fermentation is deliberately arrested before the must's sugars are fully converted, leaving residual sweetness and a light 7.5% ABV.
