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.
Comment by Murray — April 17, 2007 @ 10:53 pm
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.

Comment by Nancy — July 25, 2009 @ 12:53 pm
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.
Comment by Laura — August 16, 2009 @ 7:36 pm
damn evil olive garden. my BFF and I each bought a bottle the other night - we were told it cant be found in liquor stores any more… we’re in PA.

Comment by Marie Evans — August 23, 2009 @ 5:26 pm
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.
Comment by Jeff Morgan and Nickki LaCour — August 31, 2009 @ 6:59 am
You can purchase this wine at marketviewliquor.com for $11.99 a bottle!
Comment by Christy — September 19, 2009 @ 1:34 am
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?
Comment by Andrea Pierson — November 4, 2009 @ 9:32 pm

Comment by yu yang — November 13, 2009 @ 7:48 am
I live in Pensacola, FL (USA)and work at Aloha wine world… we carry the castello del poggio moscato at our store and sell it for less than the Olive Garden located across the street from us (about $10 cheaper)
Comment by Keith — November 22, 2009 @ 3:18 am
In Elkhart, Indiana you can buy this wine at Chalet Party Shoppe on CR 17. I don’t know if you can get it at the other Chalet locations or not. If you buy 6 bottles (and use the reusable bag) you get 15% off the purchase which will net you at $13.59 per bottle (750 ml).

Can someone help me find this wine in Chicago, IL?
Comment by Keesha — December 30, 2009 @ 4:22 pm
A server from Olive Garden recommended this wine to us. Since then I’ve been craving it. I heard Bev Mo has it. I will certainly check it out. Costello De Poggio is the best wine I ever tasted.
Comment by Rose Edmonds — January 1, 2010 @ 2:18 am
Our server at
ol[ve Garden told us we could find it at Meijer in the Chicago area locations.

Comment by Pam Riggins-Jackson — January 13, 2010 @ 5:39 pm
I just picked up two bottles of it at BevMo today for $16.99 a bottle. They get it in every week but there are so many people who want it, they can’t keep it in stock. I put my name on the waiting list on December 31st and I just got mine today, Jan. 15th. Well worth the wait though!
Comment by Mel Atkins — January 16, 2010 @ 7:27 am
I had a glass of this wine at Olive Garden on Valentine’s Day and inmediately fell in love with it but couldn’t buy myself a bottle that day since we were going clubbing after the restaurant. Its a great wine and i just ordered 2 bottles online from marketviewliquor.com at $11.99/each. I live in NYC and the liquor/wine stores around here dont seem to carry it.

I live in Lenoir, NC and my girlfriends went out for a girls day. We stopped in for Olive Garden and fell in love with their Moscato wine. Is there somewhere in NC that I can purchase this wine without going through the hassle of always getting it at Olive Garden?
Comment by Cathy — March 14, 2010 @ 4:32 pm
I tried this wine at an Olive Garden in Prattville,Al and fell in love with it. My husband and I have never liked the taste of wine but this is like no other. I have had trouble finding it in my area, I have to go to another city to buy it. Will it be possible for you to get some retailers in the Prattville area to sell it? I know of many people in this area that would like to purchase this wine without having to go to another city to buy it.
Comment by Marilyn — March 25, 2010 @ 1:14 am

I too tasted it for the first time while on vacation in Panama City Beach Florida at the Olive Garden. I also fell in love with this wine and I usually don’t enjoy sweet wines. I was so amazed that I was able to find it in Panama City Beach at Beaches Liquor regularly priced at 16.99 on sale for 9.99 a bottle. I bought 3 bottles to take back home to Canada and I am hoping to be able to find it at home but it could be a challenge.
