Moving wine to base in cellar (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

astir

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

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

'wine to base in cellar' is the wordplay.
'wine' becomes 'asti' (Italian wine).
'to base in cellar' becomes 'r' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'asti'+'r'='ASTIR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for astir that I've seen before include "Out of bed or on the move" , "Excitedly moving" , "Awake and out of bed" , "Up and about -- is art (anag)" , "In motion - out of bed" .)
