Light yellow/silvery gold in color. Slight froth with smallish bubbles. No real nose, but with air a slight pine note comes out. On the palate, this is sweet and not cloying though very sweet. Nice minerality. Long, long finish. This will work as a cocktail or as a dessert wine. Salty foods would probably be best.

Moscato d'Asti deserves more respect. It can be an excellent dessert wine that offers up enjoyment and yes, some level of contemplation. Slightly sparkling and sweet, and not expensive can be very good things if done well. This one offers up all of those. Pale yellow in color with just a bit of frizzante. The nose has peaches, orange blossoms, and just a hint of fresh thyme. Creamy texture. On the palate, this is sweet but nowhere near cloying. Good acidity. Nice finish. And low alcohol to boot (6%). It is made to consumed within the first year or two. It is great on its own and

On the palate, this is semi-sweet with nice watermelon notes. Great acidity

The nose has cranberries and cherries. Light to medium bodied. On the palate, this is sweet but not cloying. Lightly carbonated. Nice strawberry notes with a refreshing finish. Just plain fun and ea
