Shop/wine critic/winery review:   
The Zibibbo variety is noted for its delightfully fresh aromas and light fresh palate making it the ideal variety to use in sparkling wine. The variety is part of the Muscat family and is delightfully fresh, this frothy, sweet ‘alfresco’ sparkling wine displays crisp floral aromas with citrus peel and creamy flavors on the palate. Pale straw in color, the wine shouts of celebration and exuberance, and with a modest 8% alcohol, is ideal on a lazy sunny afternoon with friends.  
Your Review: 
No.  It tastes like stereotypical college wine.  Syrupy and sugary.  I guess the sparkling flavor makes it slightly more intriguing.  
I did not taste this with food.
