Tasting - Muscanti Bru


Name: Muscanti Brut
Variety: Cava Grapes
Region: Girona
Country: Spain
Year: N/A
Price: $7.95

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 sparkling wine was a good start to the tasting.  It was very crisp and acidic, yet too similar to apple juice.  I found there to be a bitter finish.

I did not taste this wine with food
