Wine lovers everywhere - this is a wine you aren't going to admit to liking, but secretly, you'll open up a bottle on a Sunday morning and guzzle it with your bacon and eggs. With the name 'Pink Bug Juice', you'd think that it would be coming from Australia or America, but this sweet pink fizz is Italian. From Rinaldi, this Moscato d'Asti has had none other than Robert Parker praising it for being simple and fun.
It has a soft, strawberry aroma cut with some raspberry leading to a sherry vinegar note coming off. The palate is light, fresh and clean with delicious strawberry, lychee and raspberry flavour. The finish has some young balsamic notes to it which cleans everything up and makes it soft and very approachable. It is a fun, slightly nutty wine and it is fortunately low in alcohol because you could drink loads of this. 82pts
I forgot to check it it had a vintage, but if it does, I'm guessing it would be the most recent, 2011.
