Risata Pink Moscato

Begin with the grape, Moscato. Our grape research treats it as a family name for aromatic white grapes, Moscato Bianco among them, and points out that grocery-store versions show up still, lightly fizzy, or fully sparkling. So the name gives you a grape family and leaves the bubbles an open question. In our September 2026 checks it ranged from $15.99 to $19.49.

The Asti consortium describes Moscato Bianco with aromas of flower, peach, apricot and citrus blossom, and our research adds that many familiar versions keep noticeable sweetness and lower alcohol. Those aromas describe the grape, not this bottle in particular. For how sweet this wine is and whether it has bubbles, the label is the place to check, since the grape name alone fixes neither.

Risata says its wines are owned by Prestige Beverage Group and made in Italy from hand-harvested grapes, though beyond that Italian origin no more specific place of origin is recorded for it. We do not have a shopper rating for this wine.

Risata's own product page settles part of that open question: the wine is 95 percent Moscato and 5 percent Malvasia Rosso, and the producer describes it, in its own words, as bursting with flavors of strawberry, cherry and raspberry, finishing sweet and well balanced, which confirms the sweet style. The same page lists 5.5 percent alcohol, on the low end for an aromatic white, but does not state a carbonation level. Risata says the wine won a Double Gold medal at the San Francisco International Wine Competition in 2021 and was named a Best Buy by the Beverage Tasting Institute in 2020.

Our call: this suits a shopper who wants a plainly sweet, low-alcohol pink wine for sipping or for mixing into a cocktail, since the producer's own account confirms the sweet style and Risata publishes several cocktail recipes built around the bottle. Pass if you need the carbonation level settled before you buy; the producer's page gives the blend and the alcohol content but not whether this bottle is still, lightly fizzy or fully sparkling, so the label in hand is still the surest check on that point.
