The name of this Italian champagne is reminiscent of a grape variety. The name of the Moscato grape comes from the word “musk” – as it was called in ancient times for its sweetness and bright aroma. In Italy, Moscato is offered by many manufacturers. But more than others it is produced by the leading company Cinzano.
Grapes for this champagne are grown in a not hot climate, in the Alpine region – Veneti, Treviso, Piedmont.
