winemaker's notes:

Moscato d'Asti is a unique wine where the beautiful aromas of the grapes are enhanced by a crisp, nice acidity, a light fizziness and the sweetness of the natural residual sugar. The low alcohol content makes it a very easy, pleasant wine perfect to finish a meal with dessert, or alone as a nice mid-day break.

90 Points

"The 2007 Moscato d’Asti offers an exciting array of lime peel, pears, green apples, flowers and minerals in a focused, incredibly pure style. The wine possesses gorgeous length and phenomenal balance. This is what top-flight Moscato is all about. Anticipated maturity: 2008."

I would buy this wine again

I may not know tons about wine, but after opening this at a party, everyone loved it. They all had to write the name of it down so they could go buy some. All in all, that says a lot. It is slightly sweet, with a delicious refreshing taste that dances across the tongue. Very refreshing and left the palate with a clean fruity experience. I'm not a wine taster, just a casual "user". Enjoy this one.

 I would not buy this wine again

Moscato d'Asti in one of the finest sparkling desert wines in the world. This particular wine is extremely sweet (only 6%, so lots of residual sugars) and has a nice bubbly touch. It is hard for me to justify the puchase of this bottle at $20 though. The flavor is delicious and extremely well balanced, but nothing to call home about. It has a nice complex lychee type scent and a crisp apple flavor. Hey, if you can afford this desert wine then definately give it a shot.

Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
