DEFINITION

Moscato

Moscato is the name for a sweet and highly aromatic Italian white wine made from the ancient Muscat Blanc grape. It is low in alcohol (typically between 5-7% ABV), and displays notes of peach, apricot and orange blossom. Moscato d’Asti is a famous dessert wine, but the grape is also vinified in still, sparkling (Spumante) and rosé variations. It is best paired with fruit based desserts, creamy cheeses and spicy dishes due to its low alcohol.

Did you know? World Moscato Day is celebrated annually on May 9th.
