Get Ready to Enjoy the National Moscato Day!

On May 9, National Moscato Day, you can raise a glass and toast the history of this delectable white wine. Moscato is historically known as a dessert wine (hence its delectability) and hails from Piedmont, Italy. When you open a bottle, you’ll get a mix of peachy, orangey, and nectarine flavors. In our opinion, a drink like that deserves to be celebrated. Cheers!

History of National Moscato Day

Moscato is made from the Moscato Blanco grape, which is one of Italy’s oldest grapes and a member of the muscat family. Though the origin of Moscato is unknown, it is thought to have originated in the southeast Arabian Peninsula and spread to Italy and other countries. In Italy, the muscat family of grapes is known as the primary grape for wine. Moscato is well-known for its flavor variety, which includes light, dry, sweet, sparkling, and rich dessert wine. It is a difficult grape to cultivate and is notorious for producing low yields. Despite this, it has grown in popularity in the United States, where it was the third most popular white wine in 2012. Gallo Family Vineyards established National Moscato Day in 2012. Gallo Family Vineyards, a large producer of excellent and reasonably priced Moscato, is a family-owned business that has been in operation since 1933.
