Moscato is a sweet white wine style which falls somewhere between spritzy and sparkling. Castello del Poggio Moscato is an Italian import made in the traditional style by stopping fermentation once the wine reaches around the 5% alcohol mark, retaining the natural fruit sweetness.
Golden straw in colour with a fine fizz, the wine has floral and fruity aromas with a hint of musk. Flavours of grapes, lychee and turkish delight are kept in balance by fruit acidity with some honey on the lingering finish. A lightweight easy drinking style.
I feel this is a great lunchtime wine, perfect with sandwitches (or focaccia if you want to sound fancy). It would also go great with dessert, think fruit salad or apple crumble with ice cream.
Score: 7/10
Price: $14
Closure: Cork
Would I buy this wine again?
Yes, it is a step above the Australian Moscato style wines I have tried
i’ve tried this wine and i absolutely love it. i cant seem to find it anywhere though. do you know where i would be able to find any? i heard theres a new 2006 one but it was a step down compared to this 2005 one.

Moscato is a “drink young” style and I doubt that any of the 2005 vintage would be available any more. We purchase it from Dan Murphy’s.

Best tasting wine that my partner and I have ever had.
Purchased also at Dan Murphy’s; wine was recommended by staff when asked for a fruity sweet wine.

Moscatos seem to be really hard to find however i introduced my dad to it and he found this bottle and picked it up for me he just wanted a taste and he loves it, i personaly think this wine is unbelievable. definately one of the finer things in life.

I was recommeded this wine by my liquor store’s wine expert when I asked for a sweet, fruity wine. After trying it for the first time it has become “my wine”. I LOVE this wine. For anyone who isn’t a huge wine drinker but would like to get into it, this is great. I’ve never gotten a wine headache the next day after drinking this like I do with most other wines. Practically guzzleable!

This wine is imported by International Liquor Wholesalers, which in short means it’s imported by Woolworths, so you should be able to get it in most Woolies branded places. Personally, this is one of my favourite wines, and I’ve gone back and bought it again numerous times.

Try looking for it at Spec’s in Texas (don’t know if they are nationwide) but Spec’s in my area distribute to Olive Garden so it’s hard to find now. My fiancé & I found it at Olive Garden and fell in love with it! We hunted for it at Spec’s after getting the name. WE LOVE THIS WINE & I HATE WINE!!! lol It’s good with anything; we even had it with 4th of July BBQ! Great stuff…

To all the people from the USA asking where to buy this wine, I have no idea since we live in Australia. If you do happen to be down under, you can buy this wine from Dan Murphy’s.
Comment by Murray — August 15, 2009 @ 2:18 am
If you are looking for it in the USA, I found it at the Olive Garden and they sell bottles if you ask for it.

We tried this wine at the Olive Garden on August 2, 2009 in Newport News, VA. We absolutely loved it and have since tried to find it. The brand we found does not come close to the Castello del Poggio Moscato. Where can we find this brand in VA? We are more than willing to take a drive.

I found Castello del Poggio Moscato at http://www.winemall.com. It is extremely hard to find, so I found out after much research…but they always have it in stock and gave great customer service also! This is one of my favorite wines so I’m glad I know where I can always get it!

Comment by Pam — November 1, 2009 @ 9:51 pm
I also love this wine. I am going to a wine tasting party and we are supposed to bring our “favorite” wine. I have been looking for this in the stores, but to no avail. Is there anywhere in the Portland area to buy this?
