- Malvasia Moscata stands out as the newest and most elusive among the white-berried Malvasia varieties found in Italy.
- Throughout Piedmont, it often goes by the name Moscatella, a clear nod to its pronounced musky aroma and flavor profile.
- However, in the late 1800s, widespread cultivation of this variety suffered a devastating blow from odium, leading farmers to opt for the more resilient Moscato Bianco instead, resulting in the decline of Malvasia Moscata plantings.

Malvasia Moscata is renowned for its pronounced musky aroma and taste, which lends it a distinctive and captivating allure. These aromatic qualities make it instantly recognizable and add complexity to the wine’s profile.
This varietal often produces wines with a noticeable sweetness, accompanied by delicate floral notes that evoke images of blooming flowers and springtime gardens. These flavors contribute to the wine’s overall charm and elegance.
Despite its sweetness, Malvasia Moscata wines typically maintain a refreshing acidity that balances the sweetness and prevents the wine from becoming cloying. This acidity adds vibrancy to the wine and enhances its drinkability.
