Map of historic hometown
Moscato Giallo have aromas that are more reminiscent of yellow flowers and sweet spices (cinnamon, nutmeg). Orange blossom is typical in moscato giallo too, but overall the nose is more herbal and spicier and has neither the penetrating grapes quality of moscato bianco nor the figgy, date, and saline quality of Moscato di Alessandria. Moscato Giallo smells and tastes less of fresh grapes than does moscato bianco and less of raisins than does Moscato di Alessandria.Â
Moscato Giallo is usually even lower in acidity, and therefore always seems sweeter than Moscato Bianco.Â
Moscato Giallo wines are rarely made as sparkling wines.Â
Moscato Giallo gives and amazingly wonderful dry wine that exudes almost intoxicatingly intense floral and spicy aromas and flavours (grapefruit, mango, lychee, orange blossom, cinnamon, nutmeg, and white pepper).
The very sweet late-harvest or air-dried style labeled passito has thick honeyed tropical fruit and sweet spice aromas and flavours.
