Tasting - Muscanti Brut


Name:  Muscanti Brut
Variety:  Muscanti
Country:  Spain
Region:  Girona
Year:  Not listed
Price:  $7.95

Vintage Cellar 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 white wine had a hint of mint on the nose, with a bitter, acidic taste, that almost resembled green granny smith apples.  I tried this wine on its own without food.
