History	The history of Moscato Giallo, also known as Goldenmuskateller, is quite fascinating. There's a common belief that this grape variety originated from the Eastern Mediterranean and was later brought to Italy. Nevertheless, recent genetic studies suggest a closer relationship with the Moscato Bianco grape variety, leading researchers to think that its origin might be northeastern Italy. Today, Moscato Giallo is primarily grown in the Trentino-Alto Adige region, and it's known for producing sweet and aromatic wines.
Ampelographic features	The Moscato Giallo grape exhibits distinct ampelographic traits. The leaves are medium-sized, round, and sometimes whole, with a V-U shaped pectoral breast. They are green and opaque with a glabrous upper page. The grape bunch is medium to large, elongated, and pyramidal, with one or two wings, and a spatula-shaped peduncle. The berries are medium in size, spheroid, with a thick and somewhat yellow peel. The pulp is slightly fleshy and juicy, offering a pleasant muscat taste. The pedicel is medium, green, and the brush is long and yellow.
Characteristics of the wine	Wines produced from the Moscato Giallo grape are vibrant golden yellow in color. They exhibit a clear aromatic profile, often described as fragrant and fresh. The taste can range from sweet to dry, but regardless of the style, Moscato Giallo wines are known for their strong floral and fruity aromas, often with notes of rose petals, peaches, and apricots.
