Shop Review: The inviting apricot preserves, honey, butter, and roasted almond aromas of this semi-sparkler pull you right in. It's on the sweet side, with stone-fruit flavors kept alive by decent acidity. The palate bubbles and tingles and maintains its balance. Fine as an aperitif or with dessert (Vintage Cellar).

My Review: The Bartenura Moscato, like most Moscatos, was very sweet. I personally found the wine too sweet to enjoy. What I did like about it is that it had a bit of a bubbly quality to it. I think this would be a great beginner wine for timid first time wine drinkers.
