Moscato

Images for Moscato

Moscato is a white grape variety grown primarily in the Piedmont region of Italy, known for producing sweet and fragrant wines with a low alcohol content.

Moscato is often used to produce sparkling wines such as Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti, as well as still wines. Moscato typically has aromas of ripe fruits such as peach, apricot, and pear, with some varieties displaying a hint of floral notes.

On the palate, Moscato can have a range of flavours, from sweet and fruity to slightly honeyed, with a light and crisp mouthfeel and a low level of alcohol.

Moscato is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with a variety of foods, including fresh fruit, light desserts, and spicy cuisine. The wine's sweet and fragrant character makes it a perfect match for warm weather and outdoor dining. Moscato should be served well-chilled and consumed young.

Some of the finest examples of Moscato wines come from the regions of Asti and Moscato d'Asti in Italy.
