Tasting - Cantina di Casteggio Moscato di Pavia



                



Name:  Cantina di Casteggio Moscato di Pavia
Variety:  Moscato
Region: Lombardy
Country: Italy
Year: Did not specify
Price: $8

Winery review:  Bright, light golden color. Very aromatic nose of ripe apricots, sage, honey and a slight minerality. Medium bodied, sweet and fruity with flavors of apricots and tangerine. Well balanced acidity and medium finish with layers of sweet and citrus fruit.


My review: Very light pink color in this wine with a nose of mango and apricot. Typically these sweet wines hit you with a great rush of citrus as you taste. This was no exception; delicious citrus flavor was present during the tasting with good sweet apple and mango flavors present. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a sweet dessert wine.


I tasted this on its own with no food.
