Tasting - Busy Bee Moscato

Busy Bee Moscato
Name:
Rinaldi Asti Spumanti Busy Bee Moscato
Variety: Moscato (Muscat Blanc)
Region: Piedmont
Country: Italy
Year: NV
Price: $8

Online Notes: "Straw yellow color, fruity with hints of apple, peach and mint." [Petite Cellars]

Wine Folly Notes: I got strong notes of honeysuckle and maybe pear, but not really anything else. I also noted the extremely light body and low tannins. [WineFolly.com]

My Notes: My first impression of this wine was the unusual yellow/golden color - it caught me off guard at first since most white wines I've tried were a much paler yellow. It had an apple aroma with other hints I couldn't quite place. The taste absolutely blew me away - a burst of honey, caramel, melon, and apple. Overall, it was a very sweet wine but tasted fantastic. I will certainly be buying this again.

I did not try this wine with food.
