Two weeks ago, I posted about making champagne grape sorbet from grapes in my garden (I'll link the post below, recipe in the original). The recipe calls for one tablespoon of vodka, and since I have an abundance of grapes, I tried the next batch with some Asti instead of vodka.
The verdict? Flavor is INCREDIBLE. The Asti really brings out the bright, aromatic notes of the champagne grapes. Texturally, it's a little more crumbly than with vodka, however it still has a nice sorbet mouthfeel. It kind of reminds me more of bingsoo than a creamy sorbet.
By the way, for anyone curious, the current grape count is well over 50 lbs. From the three harvest I've done so far, we're looking at around 56 lbs, but there's still a few more bunches on the vine.

For better consistency you can make an Italian meringue and add it to the mix before churning in the machine. Very simple
