  • Orange blossom, Meyer lemon, mandarin orange, ripe pear, honeysuckle
  • Aromatic white of all styles
  • Very high sweetness, high acidity

My Review:

This Moscato was a more muted and reserved version of the Lodali Moscato in my other tasting blog for this week. There was not as much sourness in this one, so maintaining balance required less sweetness. There is no dryness to this wine, and a bit of body, enough to feel a little syrupy in the mouth. It still had the sweet orange aroma and flavor, but much less intense, leading to a bit more enjoyable experience.

I could not detect much under the sour acidity. It was less dry an
