Toso Moscato



Name: Toso Moscato
Variety: Moscato
Country: Italy
Year: Non-Vintage
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: First of all, I would never buy this wine at $9.95. Not. Worth. It. At. All. It wasn’t terrible but it should be priced with Andre and Barefoot Moscato. This wine was a total honey bomb that almost tasted like sweet sparkling mead. This was a pleasant surprise since I’m used to soft drink moscatos. The nose didn’t have that sickeningly sweet note that I hate out of sweet wines. Not a bad wine but not liking the price. I’d buy a $10 Riesling and be much happier.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
