Moscato di Cagliari is an exquisite Italian white wine known for its ancient origins, a characteristic that makes it one of the oldest in the world. It has been produced for over 2000 years in the territories within the province of Cagliari, the capital city of the Italian island of Sardinia.
Moscato di Cagliari is made from the Moscato Bianco grape variety, also known as Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, with enticing fragrances of fresh grapes, rose petals, honey and hints of tropical fruits. On the palate, it has a sweet to medium-sweet taste, with flavors of peach, nectarine, and orange peel, making it an excellent dessert wine.
This wine is often made in a variety of styles, from the classic sparkling and still versions to the exceptional passito style. It may also be processed into a sweet liqueur-like variant with high alcohol content. To receive the DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) status, the wine must be made with at least 95% Moscato Bianco.
Moscato di Cagliari is generally best consumed fresh but can also mature for several years, becoming more complex over time. Its light, aromatic, and slightly fizzy nature makes it a perfect companion to spicy foods, soft cheeses, fruit desserts, or simply enjoyed alone as an aperitif. It has a long history of pairing with traditional Sardinian pastries.
The wine has a beautiful deep-golden color that goes perfectly with its pleasant and intense aroma. With its unique identity and superior taste, Moscato di Cagliari is a captivating ambassador of Sardinia's winemaking tradition, history, and culture.
