Rinaldi Moscato d'Asti


Formerly know as "Bug Juice", this used to be our top selling Moscato d'Asti but we have not seen it in years! Well it is back!!! And it has a friend too - Pink Moscato




2022 Rinaldi Moscato d'Asti....$19.99
Straw-yellow color. The bouquet is delicate and intense with aromas of apple, peach and sage spice. The palate is sweet and smooth with lingering aromatic persistence. A refreshing and pleasant wine, perfect for brunch, picnics or poolside. Dessert, ideal with hazelnut cake. Original with "strong" cheese such as Robiola of Roccaverano and Gorgonzola.
2022 has not been reviewed yet, but this was the press on the 2021
"If I had not seen the crystal clear shimmering wine in the glass, I would have thought this was a Bellini on the nose. The vibrant and intense peach aroma dominates the wine. There are subtle hints of mint and lemon, but this wine is a peach orchard in a bottle. Luckily, the bright acidity keeps the wine intact and allows it to end vibrantly and with a freshness that a Bellini lacks. Kysela Père et Fils. - Jeff PORTER"
- Wine Enthusiast (December 2022) 91 pts - BEST OF YEAR


Rinaldi Pink! Sweet Rose Wine.....$19.99
90% Moscato d'Asti & 10% Brachetto di Acqui

This wine, with its juicy rose color, strikes for its scent of spices and fruits. Its acid freshness suits its sweetness and offers a well balanced wine. Perfect as an aperitif at brunch or for sipping poolside. Try it with fruit cakes and fruit salad.

"This is an addictive, light pink-colored, frothy rose that is quite low in alcohol, with deliciously sweet strawberry and cherry notes intermixed with hints of peach and apricot." - The Wine Advocate on a previous batch of this wine
