Astoria NV Salvatore Principe Rosé Moscato

This lightly sparkling rosé opens with fragrant aromas of rose petal, candied cherry, honey and wild berry. As the label says, it scores an 8 on a sweetness scale of 1–10, with 10 being the highest.

Tosti NV Moscato (Asti)
- $12
Delightfully fresh and sweet, this playful sparkler would pair with almost anything from the dessert table. The creamy finish is redolent of peach and honey.

Morando 2011 Evviva Stella Mia Moscato (Moscato d'Asti)
- Online Exclusive
- $11
Fresh and easygoing, with accents of honey and stone fruit and a touch of butterscotch, this would pair with almond biscotti or cantucci. The mouthfeel is rich and very foamy.

Famille Quiot 2009 M Trignon Muscat Blanc à Petit Grain (Muscat de Beaumes de Venise)
- Online Exclusive
This is a soft, gentle rendering of Muscat de Beaumes de Venise. The tropical fruit is ripe and sweet, but there’s a slightly creamy edge to the flavors and a hint of bitterness on the finish.

Mionetto NV Il Moscato (Moscato delle Venezie)
- $10
Full of ripe apples, honey and citrus, but it could use just a bit more zip and freshness to help balance the sugar. Crown-capped for easy opening; try this instead of a soda or cocktail when you want something sweet at the bar.

Tosti NV Torlasco Moscato (Moscato d'Asti)
- Online Exclusive
- $16
The nose is pleasant, packed with peaches and a touch of cinnamon. On the palate the wine is quite intense but the finish given this intensity, is a little shorter than I would have expected.

Cosecheros y Criadores 2011 Sweet Torito Moscato (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla)
- $11
This corny looking bottle of sweet wine is not bad, and in some ways it is pretty good. Tropical fruit and gardenia aromas are clean, and the palate is friendly in feel, with likable banana and melon flavors. As stated, this is perfectly good for a simple sweet white.

Bodega Norton 2012 Colección Varietales Moscato (Mendoza)
- Online Exclusive
- $10
This basic Moscato offers a mix of powdery tropical fruit aromas and oily notes. The palate’s citric acidity is what keeps it upright, while flavors of sweet melon, mango and citrus lead to an inconsequential finish.
