Wine Folly:
Moscato d'Asti - "A very delicate and lightly sparkling Muscat Blanc from the Asti region in Piedmont, Italy. Moscato d’Asti has one of the lowest alcohol levels of all wines (at around 5.5% ABV), reserving the grape sugars for sweetness in this highly aromatic white wine."
I could definitely tell that this was a lower alcohol content drink but I don't think it was highly aromatic like the book says so I might have had a stuffy nose or something since I didn't get a strong smell from it.
My Review: A little bland. Possibly because I had drank a plum wine earlier and that overpowered it but I didn't taste much flavor from this. There was no bitter or alcohol taste in it. There was some bubblyness to it which was nice but beyond that I didn't taste much peach flavor or fruityness. It did have a bit of a sweet after taste. The smell was slightly peachy but this may have been placebic so I'm not completely sure.
I tasted this alone but as I said above I had it after a stronger wine which I think may have impacted this tasting.
