Tasting- Muscanti


Name:  Muscanti
Variety:  Brut
Region:  Girona
Country:  Spain
Year:  Not Vintage
Price:  $7.95
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 had a nice citrus, green apple smell.  It tasted frizzy with lemon and apple flavors.  There was a little petrol undertone, but it was subtle enough that I stilled liked it. 
I tried this wine without food.
