Il Conte Stella Rosa
Imperiale Moscato Rosé
Piedmont, Italy , $17

Delightful and a pretty shade of pink, this sparkling pink Moscato is semi-sweet with light effervescence and has everything to cool you off; light fruit, zesty, sweet cherry flavors, and easy
on the alcohol too, at 9.5 percent. Enjoy all day long.

Castello del Poggio Rosato
Pavia, Italy, $15

A sweet rosé made from a blend of Muscat and Pinot Noir grapes. This combination gives this wine a unique complexity, with its fruity and floral scents and exotic fruit aroma. Delicate and with an aromatic character, it goes well with all desserts, as well as an aperitif by itself.

Duplin Scuppernong Blush  
North Carolina, $8

The Scuppernong grape comes from the Muscadine family, known for its musky nose and taste.  This native American grape contributes to many wines made in the Carolinas and Georgia. Duplin makes many other blends, but this blush is one of their most popular due
to the intense flavor and aroma.
