Winery Tasting Notes: Italy -
Stella Rosa Blueberry is undeniably irresistible. It's sweet and succulent.
Pairs well with fresh fruits, BBQ chicken, charcuterie, cheesecake, and
cinnamon roll coffee cake (totalwine.com, 2022).
Wine Folly Notes: Wine
Folly did not have a description on just Muscat; however, they did have one on
Muscat Blanc, so I decided to compare my notes to that. Muscat Blanc is described
as having a range of sweetness, minimal body, low alcohol percentage, and
medium acidity. This aligns well with the Stella Rosa wine which had a range of
sweetness but specifically was marked as semi-sweet. The alcohol percentage was
also very low at 5%. Further, Wine Folly recommends serving the wine cold at
45-55 degrees Fahrenheit, which I did with the blueberry wine. Since Muscat
Blanc is mainly produced in Italy, I thought it was beneficial to try one from
there. Nonetheless, next time I would like to try one from a different country (i.e.,
Greece, France, South Africa, etc.) (e-text, pg. 328-329)..
My Review: I thought the Stella Rosa was a
good dessert wine. I would consider purchasing it again if I was in the mood
for something sweet; however, I would try a different flavor first. From smelling
the wine, I sensed pomegranate, berry, and candy. The blueberry scent was strangely
not that strong. However, after tasting the wine, the blueberry really came through.
It was very sweet, tart, and berry/fruit-forward. I had this wine without food.
