Tasting - Stella Mia Pink Moscato

Name: Stella Mia Pink Moscato
Variety: Moscato
Region: Unspecified
Country: Italy
Year: 2021
Price: $12

Winery Review: Pale silvery pink color. Aromas of citrus punch and green apple with a supple, crisp, spritzy, sweet light body and a polished, brisk watermelon-strawberry smoothie finish. A sweet and bubbly treat for anytime quaffing (https://www.tastings.com/Wine-Review/Stella-Mia-NV-Pink-Moscato-Italy-Italy-04-07-2021.aspx)



Wine Folly: 
Pink Moscato is more of a marketing schtick than it is a classic Moscato wine style – even though it can be tasty! This wine is made with mostly Muscat grapes and usually dollup of Merlot to give it a ruby-pink color. Imagine the classic Moscato flavors with a touch of strawberry (https://winefolly.com/deep-dive/moscato-wine/).

My Review: This wine is really good! The smell strongly indicates red fruits, like strawberry, cranberry, and raspberry. I also smelled a lot of floral characteristics, and the alcohol smell is very light. The taste is pleasant, and it went down smoothly. It has a strong strawberry taste with a hint of cherry and is fairly sweet. The alcohol isn't detectable in the taste at all. Overall, a tasty wine and could go great with something spicy.
