National Moscato Day 2023: Date, History, Facts, Activities

On May 9, National Moscato Day, you can raise a glass and celebrate the history of this delicious white wine. Moscato is historically known as a dessert wine, which explains why it is so delectable. Its origins are in Piedmont, Italy. Uncorking a bottle will reveal a combination of peach, citrus, and nectarine flavours. In our opinion, a drink like that is cause for celebration. Cheers!

The background of National Moscato Day

Moscato is produced from the oldest grape in Italy and a member of the muscat family, the Moscato Blanco. Moscato is believed to have originated in the southeast Arabian Peninsula, from where it spread to Italy and other regions.

The muscat genus of grapes is the most popular wine grape in Italy. Moscato is renowned for its diverse flavour profiles, which include light, dry, sweet, sparkling, and opulent dessert wines. It is a notoriously difficult grape to cultivate, resulting in low harvests. Despite this, it has become extremely popular in the United States, ranking as the third most popular white wine in the country in 2012.

Gallo Family Vineyards created National Moscato Day in 2012. The Gallo Family Vineyards, a family-owned business founded in 1933, is a major producer of exceptional and reasonably priced Moscato.
