Moscato
Top countries producing this wine: |
Moscato is the Italian word for the ancient white grape variety Muscat Blanc à Petit Grains. It’s Greek in origin, and is used today in the Aegean appellation of Samos to produce dessert wine. In Southwest France, the grape is widely used in the vins doux naturel wines of Roussillon that are commonly sold in half bottles. Muscat Blanc à Petit Grains has an extensive family tree — Muscat de St.-Jean-de-Minervois, Muscat de Beaumes de Venise and Muscat Rivesaltes are also superb sweet examples of this grape’s explosive fruit flavors. Moscato is grown all over Italy, where it is the country’s fourth most planted white grape. Especially successful in Piedmont, Moscato d’Asti is lightly sparkling, refreshing wine with a mouthwatering sweet and tangy flavor, much like biting into a ripe, juicy pear. Golden in color and perfumed with characteristic scents of fresh grapes, tropical fruit and flower blossoms, Moscato is growing increasingly popular among wine enthusiasts who prefer off-dry to semi-sweet wines. |
