NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This September marks the first edition of Asti Week in New York City—an exciting new initiative celebrating the elegance and versatility of Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti, two iconic sparkling wines from Piedmont, Italy.

Often reserved for dessert, these wines offer so much more. Asti Spumante, a fully sparkling wine, is known for its lively bubbles and fragrant notes of pear, acacia, and white flowers—perfect as an aperitivo or paired with savory fare. Moscato d'Asti, lower in alcohol and gently fizzy, offers a delicate sweetness with aromas of peach, sage, and orange blossom, and pairs beautifully with spicy dishes, salty cheeses, and even umami-rich foods.

From September 15th to 19th, fifteen of New York's most beloved restaurants will delight guests with a glass of Asti Spumante or a cocktail featuring it, along with a specially paired dish with Moscato d'Asti on the menu. The goal is to build greater awareness of the denomination and highlight how these wines can enhance a variety of dining moments—not just dessert.

"With Asti Week, we want to show New Yorkers—and the world—that Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti are not only joyful and approachable thanks to their low alcohol content, but also incredibly food-friendly wines," said Giacomo Pondini, Director of the Consorzio Asti DOCG. "This initiative is an invitation to rediscover our sparkling wines in new, and maybe unexpected, contexts."

Participating restaurants include: Amo, Cacio e Pepe, Creston Wine Bar, La Dong, Misirizzi, Osteria Carlina, Osteria Brooklyn @ LIC, San Carlo Osteria Piemonte, Palma, Pasta Eater, Pasta Eater Hell's Kitchen, Settepani, Terrone, The Leopard at Des Artistes, and Tarallucci e Vino.

Celebrate the debut of Asti Week, learn more about the Asti DOCG appellation and discover how these iconic bubbles can surprise, delight, and elevate any occasion.
