SWEET MOSCATO

The grapes grow on the cool hilltops of northern Italy’s Lombardy region, where the northern-lying Alps shield the low-yielding hillside vineyards from harsh weather and the 20-year-old vines benefit from a superb blend of soils. During harvest, the fruit is carefully handpicked.

TASTING NOTE

Bright gold in color, this sweet wine delivers intense pear, peach and spice aromas and flavors, and fresh, vivacious bubbles.

FOOD PAIRING

Enjoy with fruit pies and tarts, fruit cobblers or fresh strawberries, peaches or raspberries.

We decided to have a little staff party and paired the Sweet Moscato with our desserts, a strawberry trifle with heavy cream and a chocolate pudding parfait with raspberries! What a treat!.

Lastly we sampled some Italian flavor and chose the 2014 Pinot Grigio.

This is a great find to bring to your next Summer BBQ or evening dinner at the neighbors house. It’s affordable, liked by many, and makes a great impression to your host.
