La Morandina Moscato d'Asti 2003 (Italy)

Price - $15.99 Size - 750 mL- Wines of the World Wine Tasting held on Saturday May 28, 2005 at the Powers Liquor Mart in Colorado Springs with Will Gillum.

This wine is called frizzante, meaning it is somewhere between a still wine and a spumante (the Italian sparkling wine). This wine is bubbly, but the bubbles go away quickly (some of that might be the fact that we weren't drinking from flutes but just normal glasses, but it shouldn't last as long as a champagne style sparkling wine anyway). Has a light gold coloring with quick running legs. Has a peachy orange nose indicative of the muscat grape. Flavors of orange and peach mix together to form a crispy, smooth, and refreshing wine. It has a nice long finish, but is never sticky sweet. Grade: B+
