Moscato
Muscat grapes can be found throughout the world. In Italy they are mainly cultivated in the Monferrato and Langhe regions. Moscato grapes were used to make the first Italian sparkling wine in 1865. Moscato wines actually smell and taste of grapes. The grapes can be eaten off the vine or used for wine production. Moscato wines are pale yellow. They are light and elegant. They have a high, natural sugar content and a well balanced acidity. Moscato wines have low alcohol levels. Moscato wines are best paired with desserts. Fresh fruit salads, sorbet and ice cream, and other small sweet treats are wonderful dessert accompaniments.
