What Is Moscato Wine?

Moscato is made from Muscat grapes, one of the oldest known grape varieties in the world. It’s typically sweet, slightly sparkling (frizzante), and bursting with notes of peach, apricot, orange blossom, and citrus.

Most commonly, you’ll find Moscato as:

Moscato d’Asti (Italy): Lightly sparkling, aromatic, and elegant
Still Moscato No bubbles, just sweet and easy to sip
Sparkling Moscato Bright and festive great for celebrations
Red or Pink Moscato Slightly richer, fruitier, and perfect for gifting
