Sourgal - Moscato d'ASTI

 This week right before enigneering Ball, we got dinner at the Cellar and shared a bottle of moscato with a friend. 

Name: Sourgal - Moscato d'ASTI 
Variety: 100% Muscat grapes

Region:  Piedmont
Country: Italy
Year: 2021
Price: $12

Critic Review: Yellow, changing towards green, vivid, brilliant. Intense, polyhedral: it recalls orange flowers, yellow peach, sage and just picked Muscat grapes. Sweet and harmonic, well balanced, with a typical Muscat's acidity [1].

Wine Folly Review: An ancient aromatic white variety originally from Greece that’s available in all styles from dry to sweet, still to sparkling, and even fortified. Drier styles pair well with salads, sushi, and fresh fruit. Sparkling Moscato d’Asti is excellent with almond cake. Fortified Muscat tastes great with cheeses and nuts [pg. 120, 2].

Me!

Personal Review: After drinking many deep reds are dry wines, Moscato felt very refreshing and sweet. It had strong honey notes with a little bit of citrus. Personally it maybe was a little too sweet, but in general very easy to drink. I had the wine with some salmon and salad. The salad fit it quite well, but I would prefer a drier wine to go with red fish.
