Wine Review: This light yellow colored Moscato from Vietti is very good. It opens with a little effervescence and a very fragrant and appealing lychee and peach bouquet. On the palate, this wine is light bodied, slightly sweet and smooth. The flavor profile is a tasty orange and apricot blend with hints of ginger. The finish is pleasantly sweet and refreshing. If you are looking for a very fun wine, low alcohol (5%) wine on the sweet side, give this very good value offering a try! Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: Pale sunshine yellow color and slight frizzante, this Moscato d'Asti has intense aromas of peaches, rose petals and ginger. On the palate, it is delicately sweet and sparkling with balanced acidity, good complexity and a finish of fresh apricots. This is a perfect accompaniment to Pan-Asian cuisine, lobster, creamy desserts or blue cheeses.
