FOLONARI MOSCATO - NV

Folonari Moscato is grown from grapes at the alpine foothills between Lake Iseo and Lake Garda.  The grapes are harvested when they are slightly overripe in the wine region of Veneto, Italy.  100% Moscato grapes with around 9.5% alcohol.

TASTING NOTES:

Light straw color with a nose of petrol, acacia, and peach.  On the palate there is Juicy Fruit gum upfront followed by peach, sour red pear and melon, honey and white grape juice.  There is good acidity on the finish.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

87 PTS
For $9 a bottle there is a tremendous value here. The wine is well made and its only flaw is that the acidity is not quite balanced with the sugar.  I would have preferred just a tad more residual sugar and a longer finish, but this is still a wine I would recommend.  Moscato not only makes a great dessert wine, but pairs great with cheeses and appetizers as a starter wine.
