Your White Wine Style is Sweet & Fruit-Forward
You love sweet wines because they harmoniously blend refreshing acidity with sweet fruit flavors. Led by aromas of a ripe fruit basket full of apricot, mango and nectarine, sweet wines often carry a floral note as well. Crisp acidity balances the sweet texture to keep it lively and fresh. Match it with a meal or save it for dessert; you’ll find a heavenly pairing with spicy Asian foods or fruit-based desserts. If you are a fan of sweet wines, you’ll find yourself sipping Moscato/Muscat, Riesling and late-harvest varieties, and wines from regions like Asti, Germany, France, Austria and California.

Saracco is a classic Italian Moscato from the Asti region of Piedmont. Lightly sparkling, lightly sweet, this wine loads you up with ripe orchard fruits like apple, pear, peach and apricot, layered with spice and floral notes. Wonderfully complex for such an effervescent wine.

This off-dry (meaning not too dry and not too sweet) Riesling is aromatic and zippy. It offers juicy pear and citrus, with a bright, fresh acidity to keep it lively. A perfect balance of ripe fruit and floral notes lingers long after your last sip.
90 points, Vinous
A blend of multiple aromatic grape varieties, this wine showcases loads of tropical fruits like honeydew, kiwi and guava – it’s mouthwatering and luscious, with a lively freshness at the finish.
