Il Duca Moscato d’Asti


Name: Il Duca Moscato d’Asti
Variety: Muscat
Region: Asti, Piedmont
Country: Italy
Year: 2011
Price: $11.99

Winery review: A soft, easy-drinking white with notes of fresh peach and apricot intermingled with clover honey. Lower in alcohol, this is the perfect accompaniment to fresh fruit or as a delicious companion or alternative to dessert.

My review: This wine was amazing! It smelled fruity, sweet, and refreshing like you just cut up and mixed a bunch of different cold, fresh fruits in a bowl. The taste was consistent with the bouquet and the flavor was delicious. You could definitely taste peaches, and other sweet fruits, and it felt very refreshing. It seems almost impossible that it contained a drop of alcohol. This wine was very well structured and perfect for sweet, white wine lovers. I bought this wine, along with another 3 people that were at the tasting. I did not try it with food; it was amazing on its own.
