Drink stirred up, taste is drawing chap in (4,8)

I believe the answer is:

asti spumante

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drink' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stirred up taste is drawing chap in' is the wordplay.
'stirred up' indicates an anagram (letters get stirred up or mixed).
'drawing chap' becomes 'puman' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'is'+'puman'='ispuman'
'taste' anagrammed gives 'astte'.
'astte' placed around 'ispuman' is 'ASTI SPUMANTE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for asti spumante that I've seen before include "drink" , "Italian sparking wine" , "Man is upstate (anag.)" .)
