Tasting - Risata

 

This tasting is on Ris
ata's Moscato d'Asti - the wine being from the Asti region in Piedmont, Italy. Year: 2021 with a price of $16.49. Wine Folly (p. 138) states that moscato pairs nicely with almond cake! (p. 139) Moscato can be described as a very delicate & light sparkling muscat blanc, having one of the lowest alcohol levels of all wines, reserving the sugars for sweetness in the wines. 

A Stella Rosa review says that fans of their sweet wine should give this a try. For being a moscato, it was not overly sweet. This wine was bright with gentle bubbles. Aroma notes of honey and floral. Flavors picked up with this wine were notes of honey, lemon, apple, and peach. One of my favorites!
