Palate: candied red fruit, rose syrup, balanced acidity, elegant sweet finish
Castel Sallegg's late-harvest Moscato Rosa is the cellar's signature dessert wine, made from the cellar's historic estate above Lake Caldaro owned by the Counts of Kuenburg since 1851.
What it pairs with
-
Apple strudel
The classical Tyrolean pairing; rose and red berry register flatters the spiced apple. -
Berry tart with whipped cream
Wild strawberry and raspberry echo the tart; sweet acidity meets whipped cream. -
Dark chocolate truffles
Sweet red wine and dark chocolate is a textbook pairing; rose petal aromatics add complexity.
History
Castel Sallegg's Moscato Rosa has been the cellar's regional speciality for decades. The Counts of Kuenburg, who have owned the estate since 1851, committed to Moscato Rosa as one of the cellar's signature wines from the 1980s onward.
