This sparkling Italian wine was actually pretty decent. It has a slight but welcome and unique beer flavor. It is sweeter than the wines I usually prefer, and certainly won't be usurping the position of Red as King, but I enjoyed it. It's not quite as sweet and fruity as the Marco Negri, and the taste of beer kept it from being too cloying. Some interesting tidbits from the Bosca website:
"Among the many ingredients used in the research done at the Boglietto laboratory, beer had made an appearance. It immediately became clear that the addition of beer to moscato made it far more interesting to drink. The final version was finally reached when the decision was made to add various grains to the malt in a ratio that was gradually calibrated until an exceptional spumante was developed. 'Verdi' is actually an acronym, the initials standing for “versatile, enchanting, revolutionary, daring, Italian'."
