Wine Review: "Soft golden hues of honey sparkle in this classic Italian Moscato. Notes of lavender, orange and hibiscus are highlighted by a tantalizing frizzante tingle on the pallet. Perfect by itself as an aperitif or with desserts."
My Review: This was a refreshing and subtly sweet Moscato enriched with exotic passionfruit, vanilla creme, honeydew, and tones of citrus fruits. The nose, filled with passionfruit and a floral bouquet, foreshadowed the previously mentioned flavors on the palate. Like most other Moscatos I have come across, this makes for easy drinking and should be served chilled and with good company. I liked this better than the First Light Moscato that I had purchased a few weeks ago because the sweetness is not as overpowering. An inexpensive and good buy. It was enjoyed with herbed bruchetta, which actually worked well but I would like to try this with a fruit tart or apple pie as more of a dessert wine.
