Moscato is a cherished wine dating back to the 8th century BC, where a variety of Muscat grape was served at the great King Midas’ funeral. King Midas could transform everything he touched to gold. His remarkable ability is now known as the Midas Touch. Today the golden legend of Moscato continues. Commonly called the Golden grape, Moscato is known for its amazingly fragrant aromas, sweet and creamy mouth feel and wonderful golden color. Moscato and Moscatel.
