Moscato di Trani is a white dessert wine produced in the Italian region of Apulia. It is made from the Moscato Bianco grape variety, and the best expressions of the wine are characterised by a rich golden hue and wel-balanced sweetness.
The wine has earned a reputation for its unique flavour profile which often exhibits refreshing floral notes, such as orange blossom and honeysuckle, combined with fruit-driven aromas of peach, pear and apricot, overlaying a honeyed, sweet core.
The wine production zone encompasses the area around the city of Trani in the province of Barletta-Andria-Trani and part of the province of Bari. It was given DOC status, a quality assurance label for Italian food products, particularly wines, in 1974.
Pairing beautifully with pastries, desserts and cheese, Moscato di Trani has moderate alcohol content making it a perfect sipping wine for various occasions. High-quality versions can be cellared and enjoyed after several years, where they're said to develop more complex nutty and caramel flavours. The satisfaction it brings to the senses and the accessibility of its price range have made this wine very popular among the locals and tourists alike.
