Tasting - Muscanti Brut






Name: Muscanti Brut

Variety: Spanish Sparkling Wine
Region: Girona
Country: Spain
Year: N/A
Price: $7.95


Wine critic review: Lemon blossoms, green apple, toast and honeydew melon are front and center in this crisp refreshing Spanish Sparkler. Silky supple with lingering flavors, yet a tingle of citric acid on the finish. A combination of traditional cava grapes but this wine is not made in the traditional méthode champenoise (which is required by Spanish law to be called Cava). This is made with the Charmat process so this wine may only be called ‘Spanish sparkling wine’ 


My review: This wine had a little too much fizziness for me and was very dry. Not a very sweet wine, but was somewhat refreshing if you can get past the excess fizziness. The aromas I caught from the nose was of granny smith apple and citrus. I did not pair this wine with food.
