Ca’ Montebello di Scarani Luigi Moscato Dolce 2015 IGT, Italy

Light straw in color with a golden tint.

Sweet nose of citrus, honey, over ripen tangerines, lemons, yellow apples, pears, pineapples and white pepper.

Medium-bodied with tiny bubbles and high acidity.

Sweet on the palate with citrus, pears, apples, light tropical fruits and honeysuckle.

Long sweet finish with tangy limes.

This is a very sweet sparkling wine from Italy. Not fully balanced, yet not cloying, with a nice finish. I had it a couple of years ago and it was much better. Over the hill by now.

A good dessert wine that would pair nicely with lemon cakes or just by itself. Needs to be very chilled.

7% alcohol by volume.

86 points.

$18.
