Recommended wine: Vin Santo, Moscato, Ice Wine

Pumpkin Pie can be paired with Vin Santo, Moscato, and Ice Wine. Vin santo is typically sweet with notes of baking spices and nuts, so it pairs really well with pumpkin spiced desserts. A good sparkling Moscato would work too, and if you feel like splurging, an ice wine. One wine you could try is La Spinetta Bricco Quaglia Moscato d'Asti. It has 4.9 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 18 dollars.

La Spinetta Bricco Quaglia Moscato d'Asti

Yellow with green reflections. Sweet and sexy, deliciously crisp green apple and honeysuckle. A wine that surprises by its remarkable freshness and brilliant fruit flavors reminiscent of apple, spiced pear and honey.
