Moscato di Terracina

Moscato di Terracina is a white grape variety mostly found around Terracina in Latina, Lazio. The grape was reintroduced after it had nearly gone extinct, but it is still rare. It is incredibly versatile and used for different wine styles (dry, sweet, sparkling).

Before it got its DOC appellation, it was primarily a part of Lazio IGT. The wines are generally deep yellow and very aromatic. On the nose, they usually show tropical fruit and apricot notes, often with some herbal nuances. In the finish, they can have a subtle, almond-like note.

Dessert wines will usually have aromas of dry fruit, with some hints of balsamic and honey. Moscato di Terracina wines pair well with seafood, while sweet styles best match pastries and cookies.
