Roscato wine: the range at CBC Liquors in Westford

Roscato is an Italian wine brand best known for lightly sweet, easy-drinking wines, including Rosso Dolce, Moscato and Rose Dolce. CBC Liquors at 142 Littleton Rd in Westford carries the Roscato range, and you can pick it up in the shop, order for pickup or delivery, or have it shipped.

What is Roscato wine?

Roscato is an Italian wine brand. Its bottles are built around sweet and semi-sweet styles: a red, a rosé, a Moscato, a sparkling Moscato and a gold-labelled sweet white. If you are looking for something bone dry and austere, this is not that. If you want a wine that tastes fruity and soft, it is the point of the whole line.

The names tell you the style. Dolce is the Italian word for sweet, and Rosso means red. Moscato is a grape variety known for floral, grapey aromas and a natural sweetness.

You can see everything we carry from the brand on the Roscato brand page, with our own best sellers shown first and only what is in stock today.

Stock moves, so the product pages show what is available today. If you are coming in for a particular bottle, check the page first or call the shop.

Is Roscato sweet?

Yes. Roscato wines are made in a sweet or off-dry style, and that is what most people mean when they search for the name. Sweetness in wine comes from sugar left in the wine after fermentation, and Moscato grapes are naturally aromatic, so the wine smells sweeter than many others even before you taste it.

The red is not like a Cabernet or a Pinot Noir. Expect a fruit-forward, soft red with little of the grip you get from a dry one. If you usually drink dry reds, try it as a different kind of wine rather than a replacement.

If you like drier bottles, our red wine and white wine sections cover a much wider spread of styles.

How do you serve Roscato?

Sweet wines are usually better cold. The Moscato, the Rose Dolce and the Sparkling Moscato are normally served well chilled, which keeps the sweetness fresh rather than heavy. A couple of hours in the fridge, or a short time in an ice bucket, does it.

The red is often served lightly cool rather than at room temperature, which keeps a sweet red lively. That is a common serving approach for fruity reds in general, so go by your own taste.

Pour it in a regular wine glass. For the sparkling bottle, a flute or any tall glass keeps the bubbles longer.

What food goes with Roscato?

Sweet wines like salty, spicy and rich food because the sugar balances the other flavors. Moscato is a classic match for fruit, soft cheeses and lighter desserts. Rosé styles work with charcuterie boards and appetizers.

A sweet red pairs well with pizza, pasta with red sauce and anything with a bit of spice. A sparkling Moscato suits brunch dishes and light cakes.

What else is there if you like Roscato?

If the sweet and fruity style suits you, there is more to try. Our sparkling wine section has bottles from dry to sweeter styles, and the wine styles collection groups wines by how they taste so you can browse by preference.

If you want something less sweet in red, a Red Blend or an Italian red is a natural next step, since you already like Italian wine. Staff in the shop can point you to something based on what you liked about Roscato.

We stock 4,559 products across 1,880 brands, so there is usually a next bottle to try.
