Inniskillin is arguably the leading producer of ice wine worldwide. This variety is crafted from riesling grapes and features the aromas of peach, pear, and lime.

On the palate, honey, apricot, and mango flavors are contrasted against crisp acidity, the hallmark of Riesling white wine grapes.

Known as “holy wine” – due to its historical use in Catholic Mass – Vin Santo is a generally sweet Italian dessert wine (you know that the wine is sweet when it’s sold almost exclusively by the half-bottle).

Castello di Meleto is a blend of 90% Trebbiano, 5% Sangiovese, and 5% Malvasia grape varieties, crafted in the Vin Santo home province of Tuscany.

This amber liquid offers a tremendously round flavor laden with a floral aroma and citrus notes, that despite its sweetness, makes for a good accompaniment to dessert or dark chocolate.

4. Risata Moscato d’Asti

Check Price
 

Hailing from the Asti province in Italy’s west, this popular sweet white wine is a hit with rookie wine drinkers or those seeking a lower alcohol content in the glass.

As is the case with many Moscato bottles (including sparkling wine versions), Risata offers a gentler 5.5% ABV, as opposed to 13-16% ABV in your chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, or pinot gris.

Risata Moscato d’Asti is light and refreshing on the palate, yielding an enticing mix of fruity flavors such as citrus, apples, and stone fruit.

5. Barefoot Red Moscato

The most popular wine brand in America has an impressive range of dessert wine, and easy-drinking, flavor-infused sweeter wines to go with more everyday reds and whites from chardonnay to pinot noir.

While some will prefer a peach or strawberry flavored wine to enjoy with lunch or as a prelude to dinner with friends, for mine, the Barefoot Red Moscato wine is deliciously versatile for drinking on multiple occasions.
