- While a colour mutation of Moscato Bianco is always a possibility, true Moscato Nero di Acqui is a distinct variety.
- This lightly aromatic red grape is cultivated in the Piedmont region and derives its name from the town of Acqui.
- Moscato Nero di Acqui fell out of favor with farmers and wine producers for several reasons: it is a low to moderate yielder, it does not accumulate high levels of sugar, and its characteristic Moscato aroma degrades quickly once the berries ripen.

A fine Moscato Nero displays a pinkish-red hue, offering a light and refreshing profile with delicate aromatics. It exudes gentle fragrances of roses and geraniums, complemented by hints of small red and black berries. Unlike the intense and penetrating aromas found in wines made from Moscato di Scanzo, Moscato Nero’s bouquet is softer and more subtle. The result is a very pleasant and delicious light-bodied wine, perfect for those who appreciate nuanced and refined flavors.
