This is my first time with this kit and making moscato. I just racked a Vino Italiano Moscato Kit off the gross lees to bulk age. I've read reviews of this kit and therefore only made 5 gallons instead of the 6 gallons the instructions recommended. Today was the day that designated the day to bottle per the instructions. Before racking the wine I pulled enough to taste.
The flavor was good, very much similar to the Moscato from commercial winemakers. However, the wine didn't have the "crisp" bite. It almost seemed flat. I know that some Moscato wines are slightly carbinated, but that isn't the difference that I am trying to describe.
Is there something that I can do at this point to add that bite/crisp to the wine? Or will the aging add it to the wine?
Thanks in advance for the help!
