"Roscato Rosso Dolce is a blush wine produced in the Moscato d'Asti style, with residual sugars giving it an off-dry finish. Instead of the Moscato (Muscat Blanc) grape, it is produced with the red Italian Trentino-Alto Adige grapes Teroldego, Lagrein, and Croatina. This sparkling 'blush' wine has been popularized at Olive Garden restaurants, but is also available from EmpireWine.com."
