Winery Review: "Northern Italy provides a spectacular backdrop for Roscato, a violet-hued red with aromatic notes of cherry, blackberry and red raspberry. A touch of sweetness and bright acidity underlies the appeal of this charming wine." (empirewine.com)
Wine Folly: Wine folly had plum and raspberry as a couple of flavors that I recognized. The sweet red berry flavors came out pretty well. The teroldego grapes also give blackberry flavors which I noticed.
My Review: This is a wine I enjoyed drinking. It was sweet, had a good mouthfeel, a little bit of acidity on the tongue at the first taste. There were some light tannins, but not a whole lot. Did not pick up any real vanilla like a lot of the other red wines I have had. Got some black tea and raspberry flavors though, as well as some other dark berries. The fruity component came through, and I could also detect a little in the way of floral notes. A good sweet wine that I could enjoy drinking.
