Description: This sweet Moscato comes from Bottega who is a fine producer of Italian wines. Their Prosecco is a best buy & reviewed earlier.
This sparkling is similar to Moscato d’Asti or a lighter, sweeter version of their Prosecco. The colour is medium straw with medium+ intensity with good mousse. Not a complex wine, but it wasn’t meant to be. Easy drinking sparkling wine that has a lot of fresh sweet peaches, some apricots, oranges & some lime. Drink on its own or with Gelatto ice cream. This also paired well with Bruschetta.
