This Moscato d’Asti is fresh, fragrant, and frizzante with vibrant, flavors and aromas of ripe stone fruit, tangerines, and honey. The wine is concentrated and flavorful, but not overly rich or heavy; sweet, yet balanced. (prestigewinegroup.com)

This moscato had a sweet but not overly sweet smell to it.  It was a nice balance of the floral honeysuckle, rich fruits and a bit of honey thrown in there.  I wasn't able to really nail down any particular fruit smell though.  It was surprisingly light, crisp and clean given the sweetness of the smell.  It had a nice overtone of honey and seemed to bubble on the tongue all the way through to the finish.

It was a great moscato and definitely one of Marie's favorites so far.  We will probably be getting this one sometime soon...as soon as we save up the money.
