WINE DESCRIPTION

Caposaldo Sweet Pink is a blend of Merlot and Moscato Bianco hailing from the Veneto region, located in Northern Italy. The grapes for this wine come from the overarching Veneto, which allows Caposaldo to source from a larger area and maintain a level of consistency and quality. The wine is fermented in inert vessels to retain the bright fruit character of the grapes. The fermentation is halted prematurely to retain residual sugar, enhancing the wine's fruity, jovial nature. This wine is best served well chilled and lends itself to a range of pairings with fruit based desserts.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Caposaldo Sweet Pink Merlot - Moscato displays an attractive pink, blood orange color in the glass, with a frothy mousse.On the nose, it is immediately expressive showing vibrant aromas of jammy strawberries, juicy plums, and a fragrant floral lift. The palate is brimming with flavors of lightly confected red berries, tinned peaches, and a hint of honeysuckle. The sweetness is suitably balanced by the acidity, providing a luscious mouthfeel without being overly cloying.
