Moscato is a type of sweet white wine that is made from the Muscat grape variety. It is known for its light, refreshing taste and fruity aroma, with flavors that can range from peach and apricot to orange blossom and honey. Moscato wine can vary in sweetness levels, with some being very sweet and others being more balanced with acidity. It is typically lower in alcohol content than many other wines, with an average alcohol by volume (ABV) of around 5-7%. Moscato is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed on its own as a dessert wine or paired with a variety of foods, such as spicy dishes, fruit, cheese, and light desserts. It is also often used in cocktails and sangrias for its sweet and fruity flavor. Moscato is a popular wine around the world, with some of the most well-known varieties coming from Italy, particularly the Asti region, as well as France and Spain. It has become particularly popular in recent years among younger wine drinkers and those who prefer sweeter wines.
