XXL Sparkling Moscato 750ml

XXL is a brand owned by Tri-Vin Imports of New Rochelle, New York, developed with DMV Distributing of Frederick, Maryland. Retailers list XXL Sparkling Moscato as a product of Spain.

It's a sweet sparkling Moscato at 16% alcohol, well above the 5 to 7% of most Moscato. The brand doesn't publish how it's made or how it reaches that strength, and it isn't a Moscato d'Asti or any other appellation wine. Total Wine adds that XXL Wines was named Innovator of the Year by Wine Enthusiast.

Total Wine and Hannaford describe sweet apricot and stone fruit, poached pear, orange blossom, elderflower and honey. Hannaford's tagline sums it up as more flavor, more intensity.

Against Santero Moscato Rose, XXL is stronger and richer; for a sweet sparkler with more punch, choose XXL.

Serve it well chilled in a flute or over ice. It works with fruit tarts, spicy takeout or a cheese plate with blue cheese, and its strength means a small pour goes a long way.
