Tasting #6 - Moscato

Name: Bartenura
Variety: Muscat
Region: 
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $4.95

Vintage Cellar Review: The inviting apricot preserves, honey, butter, and roasted almond aromas of this semi-sparkler pull you right in. It's on the sweet side, with stone-fruit flavors kept alive by decent acidity. The palate bubbles and tingles and maintains its balance. Fine as an aperitif or wine dessert.



My Review: It was a light, transparent yellow. I noticed when I swirled the glass bubbles would from up around the edges. There were melon and maybe kiwi aromas on the nose. This wine was very sweet with a crisp pineapple taste. It was also kind of sparkly and ended with a light sweet finish that didn't linger.

This wine was tasted without food.
