Moscatello Selvatico

  • Moscato di Barletta

White

  • Moscatello Selvatico stands out as a unique cultivar, although “moscatello” has historically been a generic term for varieties distinguished by a subtle muscat aroma and flavor, despite not being true Moscatos.
  • It is speculated that Moscatello Selvatico is a descendant of Moscato Bianco and Axina de Tres Bias, a rare variety still present in Sardinia, known for its ability to flower and yield crops up to three times a year.
  • The grape’s survival to the present day can be attributed to its use as table grapes and in the production of raisins.

A fine Moscatello wine is noticeably lighter in body and exhibits less intensity in its aromas compared to wines made from Moscato Bianco or Moscato Giallo. Moreover, it lacks the pronounced sweetness and viscosity characteristic of wines made with Moscato di Alessandria. Instead, it presents as a refreshing, crisp, delicately muscat wine, making it an ideal choice for serving as an aperitif.
