Parker's Wine Bargains: The World's Best Wine Values Under $25
"A creamy textured Moscato that offers outstanding length and finesse in its classic varietal notes of crisp green apples, mint, flowers and spices. Simply put, this is as good as Moscato gets."

Vineyard Notes: Perrone's vineyards are northwest-facing. He believes that ripeness is easy to achieve if yields are kept reasonable. The vineyards cool down faster in the evening, so the grapes retain more acidity and freshness. The vines are 25-60 years old with an average yield of 40 hL/hA.

Winemaking Notes: The grapes are harvested by hand and crushed in tank. Fermentation is stopped by filtration and the trapped CO2 provides a gentle sparkle. Moscato's virtue lays in its exuberance, explosiveness, and brightness. Best if drunk young to better catch all its vigor.
