Moscato

Moscatel is a type of white wine that originates from the Mediterranean region, particularly from Spain and Italy. This sweet and fragrant wine is made from the Moscatel grape, which is known for its unique characteristics and flavor profile. The wine is often described as having a sweet and floral aroma, with notes of orange blossom, peach, and honey. The taste is typically sweet and smooth, with a hint of acidity and a crisp finish. Moscatel is often enjoyed as a dessert wine, paired with sweet treats such as cakes, cookies, and fruit. It is also a popular choice for special occasions, such as weddings and holidays. The wine's sweetness and flavor profile make it a great match for a variety of cheeses, including soft-ripened cheeses like Brie and goat cheese. Additionally, Moscatel is a popular choice for cooking, particularly in Mediterranean and Spanish cuisine. It can be used as a substitute for water or broth in recipes, adding a depth of flavor and a hint of sweetness.
