Tasting - Annalisa Moscato Dolce

Name: Annalisa Moscato Dolce

Variety: Moscato

Region: Northern Italy

Country: Italy

Year: NV

Price: $11.99 (retail)

Winery review: Produced from selected Moscato grapes grown in northern Italy. Soft and delicate with pleasantly sweet ripe flavors of apricot and peach.

My review: I think this is an excellent sparkling Moscato! While it's fairly simple in terms of taste and aromatics, I really like the effect that carbonation adds to the experience of this wine; I don't think I've had a sparkling Moscato before this one.  On the nose I get strong themes of fruit and sweetness. On the palette I get, of course, a strong carbonation effect along with themes of sweet fruit such as peach and apple.  I think this wine would go well by itself or with a light salad and Italian bread. 

I had this wine without food.
