Moscato - Grape of the Bees

Did you know the Moscato grape boasts over 200 varieties?

It has been loved by winemakers for centuries thanks to its highly aromatic character (not only after vinification but even straight from the vine, in the vineyards!) and also the local wildlife that love to feast on this fragrant fruit. Pliny the Elder called it the "Grape of the Bees" (uva apiana).

Nowadays we may call it muscat, muscatel, muscadel, or muscadelle, but by any name it's a delicious grape and a popular wine style.
