Acclaim
“Moscato is one of those wines that you always have around. Why? Well, for one, your mother-in-law loves sweeter wines, and prefers those that sparkle. I have not witnessed a significant difference (statistical term) between moscatos—they tend to be fruity, slightly sweet, and extremely refreshing, which is the case here. As a plus, it’s Sicilian, which is a win.” (“Good to Very Good”)
— The Drunken Cyclist, Jun 2019
“While many moscatos you find on the market are one-dimensional, this one from Stella offers hints of welcome complexity that one doesn’t often encounter, especially for the price point. Medium-intensity lemon in color, this wine has an aromatic nose of grapefruit, white rose blossom, pear drop and lychee with a hint of sauvignon-blancesque, fresh-cut grass. On the palate the dry, medium-dry moscato delivers zesty flavors suggested on the nose supported by medium acidity and completing with a medium-plus finish.”
