Critic Review:  "This fine sparkling presents an intense aroma of fresh berries and tropical fruits with hints of white flavor petals.  Delicate bubbles caress the palate offering a silky and pleasant sweetness well balanced by a crisp, refreshing finish.  Ideal on its own, as an aperitif or with all types of sweets and desserts."

My Review:  I was not a fan of this wine.  First off, it smelled of bad perfume and old potpourri you would find in a retirement home.  I do not particularly like Moscato, so it was extremely too sweet for my taste.  It tasted like old flower petals.  The only good thing about this wine was the carbonation, which gave a hint of crispness to the taste.  However, the musky taste of the wine overwhelmed the bubbly sensation.  I would not drink this again.

I tasted this wine without food.
