Vintage Cellar review: This Moscato is reminiscent of honeysuckle and rose petal. The quality is equivalent to a top level Asti Spumante DOCG. Sweet sparkling wine obtained from a careful selection of the Moscato grapes. It has a pale straw yellow color with fine foam and bubbles. Tropical fruit flavors, refreshing. Excellent to match with desserts, fruit and dried pastries.
My review: I thought this was a great quality Moscato. Refreshing, fruity, fresh air, crisp, and a slight hint of Fruit Loops on the nose. Carbonation, residual sugar, low alcohol, and fruit all come through on the palette. It didn't have as much carbonation as I usually expect from a Moscato, but it is mostly likely a stylistic difference. This wine would go very well with a sweet Italian dessert, such as Cannoli or Lemon Cello.
I had this wine without food.
