Tasting - Toso Moscato

Name: Toso Moscato
Variety:  Moscato (Muscat)
Region: Italy
Country: Italy
Year: 2008
Price: $9.95
Winery Review:
"This Moscato is reminiscent of honeysuckle and rose petal. The quality is equivalent to a top level Asti Spumante DOCG.  Sweet sparkling wine obtained from a careful selection of the Moscato grapes. It has a pale straw yellow color with fine foam and bubbles. Tropical fruit flavors, refreshing.  Excellent to match desserts, fruit and dried pastries".

 My Review: 
Much like other Moscato wines, the aromas of this wine are mainly floral with strong peach notes.  At the first taste, I notice how creamy and smooth this sparkling wine is with its texture.  The flavors that come through are of tropical fruit like pineapple with a light floral element lingering in the background.  A little sweet but overall a strong wine.  I did not try this wine with food.
