Appetizers and a Light Moscato


Name: Riunite Moscato Trebbiano
Variety: Moscato and Trebbiano
Region: Puglia
Country: Italy
Vintage: Not Vintaged
Price: Online, anywhere from $8-15, but I picked this one up a Kroger on sale for just $6. 
Wine Critic Review: Riunite’s d’Oro is a blend of mostly Moscato with a bit of Trebbiano added to round out the flavor profile. This wine is designed to be light, casual, and easy to enjoy on its own or with a variety of dishes. It’s sweetness makes it an especially good match for foods with a little spice.
This wine is floral and highly perfumed. Honeysuckle, orange, and orange flowers drive its aroma.
Soft and light on the palate, this wine is crisp and floral with nice orange blossom and cut orange flavors. It’s sweet, very light, and easy to enjoy.
Personal Review: A wonderfully light, citrusy flavor, with the lightest hint of bubbles.
Food Pairing: I had this with an appetizer style dinner of cheese, almonds, crackers and yogurt. It went wonderfully, and I would definitely get this wine again. At this price, it quickly goes to the top of the list as one of my favorites.
