Tasting - Bartenura Moscato

Name: Bartenura Moscato
Variety: 100% Moscato Bianco
Region: Lombardia
Country: Spain
Year: 2010
Price: $4.95
Tasting Date: January 31, 2013
Location: Vintage Cellar
Food Pairing: None 

Winery Review: The inviting apricot preserves, honey, butter, and roasted almond aromas of this semi-sparkler pull you right in. It's on the sweet side, with stone-fruit flavors kept alive by decent acidity. The palate bubbles and tingles and maintains its balance. Fine as an aperitif or with dessert.

My Thoughts: Aroma of flowers, specifically honeysuckle. Some fruit mixed in as well, apricot maybe. Fruity sweet flavor accented nicely by the slight sparkling nature. Slightly creamy finish. I have now decided Moscato is a very tasty variety of wine.
