Day 55: Bartenura 2009 Moscato Italy

I thought this bottle looked fishy when I grabbed it out of the crate in my basement. I thought to myself, “jeez did I really buy this?” Low and behold, I did buy it, and tonight was the night for me to indulge.

Bartenura is an Italian Moscato. I don’t really know what a Moscato is, but it seems as though it’s a type of sparkling wine. My general impression of Bartenura is that it’s a peach flavored sprite with half the carbonation. There isn’t a whole lot to say otherwise in my opinion. If you’re into sweet sparkling wines, or looking for a soda with a kick, Bartenura might be for you. However, I wouldn’t buy it again when looking to sample wine. Bartenura: D/D+
