Moscato can get an (undeserved!) bad rap. Though it's available in semi-sweet and dry varieties, haters often dismiss the sparkling wine as too sugary. Well, guess what? They don't know what they're missing out on. The right bottle of Moscato has a refreshingly light and fruity taste, the kind of wine that's prefect for sipping at brunch or as an after-dinner treat. And this type of good Moscato isn't necessarily expensive, if you know where to look.
Moscato wines are produced in Italy with Muscat grapes. There are over 200 varieties of the grape, which means the wine can vary greatly. It's known for its sweet and perfume-y flavors due to the high residual sugar and low acidity in the Muscat grapes. Take a sip and you'll likely pick up flavors of peach, apricot, citrus, rose petal, and elderflower.
You'll always want to serve Moscato chilled so that its sweetness is softened, and the notes of the different fruits come through. You might want to pair the wine with foods that are spicy, sour, salty, or bitter, as the sweetness of Moscato will provide a pleasant contrast. Think spicy chicken wings, cured meats like prosciutto and salami, salty peanuts, crudites, and strong cheeses.
If you're looking for bubbly brands to turn a Moscato hater into a Moscato lover, here are our favorite bottles of the Italian wine, perfect to serve at your next brunch, springtime soiree, or general get-together.
