Moscato is not just for girls in their early 20s. If done properly, a moscato is more than just an easy to drink beverage for those who don’t like the taste of alcohol. In fact, they’re perfect for that summer picnic, or to finish off an elegant dinner, and they’re rather affordable as well. The name Moscato comes from the Moscato d’Asti wines, made famous in Italy’s Northwest Piedmont region. Most Moscatos are slightly effervescent which makes them lighter by nature.
Moscato wines generally have a low alcohol content of 5-7%, while most standard wines range between 11-15%. As a result, Moscato is a very pleasant and drinkable wine. It is light in body and pairs well with appetizers, brunch foods, and desserts. Moscato can be enjoyed all by itself, as an aperitif before a meal to stimulate the appetite. Wine experts advise serving Moscato chilled.
