Moscato D'asti La Caliera

Moscato d’Asti La Caliera is a beautifully aromatic, lightly sparkling Piedmont dessert wine that delivers sweetness, freshness, and lift in a polished, easy-to-love style. Produced by Borgo Maragliano in the Asti hills, La Caliera is made from 100% Moscato Bianco and is described as the estate’s top Moscato d’Asti, sourced from the oldest vines of the property. The wine is known for its bright, perfumed character and its balance of sweetness and freshness, making it feel indulgent without becoming heavy.

Process & Profile

La Caliera comes from hillside vineyards in Piedmont, with current merchant notes placing the fruit at about 450 meters above sea level. The wine is made through controlled low-temperature fermentation in pressurized tanks to preserve its natural sweetness and delicate sparkle, with fermentation stopped early at low alcohol. Technical and retail notes describe it as a classic Moscato d’Asti with a soft mousse, bright aromatics, and gentle effervescence.

On the nose and palate, La Caliera is consistently described with notes of candied fruit, acacia blossom, violet, and a delicate musky floral bouquet. Other current retail notes add mandarin, peach, and fresh grapey perfume, while the palate is sweet, lively, and pleasantly fresh with a delicate, persistent finish.

What makes Moscato d’Asti La Caliera stand out is the way it combines sweetness, perfume, and freshness with real balance. It has the charm and immediacy Moscato drinkers want, but the older-vine fruit, hillside origin, and bright acidity give it more polish and character than a simple sweet sparkler.

Serve it well chilled. It shines with fruit desserts, strawberries, chocolate-covered berries, and lighter pastries, and it also works beautifully as a refreshing finish to a meal.
