Bartenura Kosher 2018 Moscato (DOCG)

 


Bartenura Kosher 2018 Moscato (DOCG), $15.99, 90 points, was the lightest brass color, almost water clear and a bit fizzy.

The nose was near "dumb", but gentle aromas of orange, sweet apple, and pome blossoms were lovely.

A not quite medium-bodied white wine, sweet, but not cloyingly so, a tad fizzy but not quite frizzante and more fizzy than Vinho Verde, and showing bright flavors of candied apple, pear, apricot, and a hint of fig.

Finished long on the trailing palate with no surprises, and with a tiny 5% alcohol.

Paired great with my Habanero chili.

  1. 5% alcohol? I hope you drank two bottles!

    1. Ha! 3 quarters of one, and one of the few wines where the alcohol was almost unnoticeable to me.
