Moscato Bianco
Sweet Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✭

Valle d'Aosta Moscato Passito Les Abeilles shows a pale amber yellow and nuances of golden yellow, very transparent. The nose denotes intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas which start with hints of raisin, fig jam and dried apricot followed by aromas of quince jam, ripe banana, caramel, honey, date, peach jam, hazelnut and nail polish. The mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a sweet and round attack, however balanced by alcohol, good body, intense flavors, pleasing crispness. The finish is persistent with flavors of raisin, fig jam and dried apricot. Valle d'Aosta Moscato Passito Les Abeilles ages in steel tanks and is produced with late harvested grapes.
