2006 Gambero Rosso Vini d'Italia Two Glasses
# 100% White Muscat (locally known as "Moscato Reale")
# Classic regional dessert wine produced in Central Apulia
# This variety expresses its best characteristics on the tufaceous soils outside the coastal town of Trani
# Harvest is carried out at the end of September by hand selecting the semi-dried grapes
# Aged for 4 months in Allier oak barriques, the wine acquires a slight spicy note
# Bright gold yellow color; intense Muscat varietal bouquet with a delicately tropical, spicy note
# Pleasantly sweet, rich and warm on the palate; well balanced, with layers of flavors ranging from honey to candied tropical fruit to vanilla
# Accompaniment: Dry and delicate sweets. An interesting combination is with savory, spicy cheeses
