The 2009 Moscato d'Autunno is flat out great, and frankly sets a new benchmark for the level Moscato can reach. This rich, creamy wine flows effortlessly with ripe peaches, apricots, flowers and spices, showing marvelous intensity and magnificent overall balance. Readers will not want to miss this superb Moscato. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012.
Paolo Saracco is one of the reference-point producers of fine Moscato. I always make sure to have at least a few bottles on hand at the house.
