White Muscat
Muscat grapes represent one of the great families of grapes present in the Mediterranean basin. It is one of the most ancient varieties ever, already cultivated by the Greeks and loved by the ancient Romans, who used to define with the term apiane all sweet grapes, which attracted bees. The name apparently derives from the term muscus to emphasize the aroma of musk that characterizes the aromatic spectrum of the grapes and related wines.
White Muscat in Italy is widespread in many regions: Muscat from Trani, Syracuse, Noto, Chambave, Montalcino, Tempio Pausania, but certainly the most famous area of all for the cultivation of this variety is Piedmont, in particular the Asti area and the Canelli area. Abroad it is present in Greece, France, Spain and Romania. In Piedmont, it is the most cultivated white grape of all, especially for the production of sparkling wines with the Charmat method.
The wine has a straw yellow color, with a characteristic bouquet of orange blossom, citrus, white peach and musk. The sip is intensely aromatic, juicy and rich but always supported by good acidity.
