The estate’s 2009 Moscato Rosa Praepositus is sublime. Rose petal, cherries in liqueur, cinnamon, cloves, mint and sweet medicinal herbs come together in the glass as the wine shows off its pedigree. This moderately sweet, medium-bodied dessert wine is probably best enjoyed on its own. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015. Importer: Abbazia di Novacella, USA, Sausalito, CA; tel. (917) 699-2647

This shows sweet chocolate-covered cherry, plum compote and cocoa flavors, balanced by tangy acidity and light tannins. Nut and spice flavors linger on the finish. Drink now. 500 cases imported.??–AN??Region: Italy / Alto Adige Select to Add
