Tasting #5 - Castello Del Poggio Moscato

 


Name: Castello Del Poggio

Variety: Moscato

Region: Lombardy

Country: Italy

Year: 2020

Price: $15.99

Review: Wilfred Wong of Wine.com gave this wine an 89, and he wrote, "The Castello del Poggio Moscato is fresh, pleasant, and easy. Tasting notes: This wine offers appealing aromas and flavors of ripe apples and flowers. Serve it with light desserts or just by itself. 

My Take: It was a very sweet wine! Detected notes of honey and orange. WINE FOLLY Page 138 agrees with my take and notes that Muscat wines are typically very sweet and light, with relatively little body. It was interesting drinking this wine on a cold day this winter. It tasted delicious, but I would definitely prefer this wine in the Summer months! I drank it chilled and that was definitely the right way to go.
