Allegri Moscato Frizzante no vintage on bottle (about $10)






About the Wine:  Frizzante is a designation for wine that have some carbonation but do not bubble as much as Champagne or Spumante.  The designation usually applies to Moscato.

About THIS Wine:  Clear in the glass with no rim.  Sweet peach dominates the nose, as is typical for a Moscato.  More sweet peach makes up the palate, which ends in a tart finish.  This wine is definitely sweet but not nearly as sweet as most Moscatos I've had.

Drinking This Wine:  Definitely a patio pounder, though it might work with spicy Thai food.

Overall Impression:  I tasted Allegri a few months back and promptly forgot all about it until the store where I work opened a bottle for a tasting.  This wine is generally unimpressive but not unpleasant.  At ten dollars it is reasonable for the price.
