Though there’s some variation between the different types, Moscato generally has a pretty low alcohol content, hovering around 5-7%. As a point of reference, most red wines have an alcohol content of about 10-12% ABV. The low alcohol content makes Moscato a great dessert drink for casual sipping, or the perfect addition to a brunch-time spritzer that won’t derail your entire day.

What is Moscato wine made of? Despite variations in fizziness, color, and dryness, all Moscato wines come from the Muscat grape have a relatively similar flavor profile.

Types of Moscato

Pink Moscato — Pink Moscato a delightful variation on the wine, featuring white Moscato wine made from the Muscat Blanc grape, plus a dash of Merlot for good measure. Due to its more varied composition, Pink Moscato features an exciting lineup of flavorful nuances — rich caramel and vanilla notes play nicely with the fruitier flavors more closely associated with the common Moscato d’Asti variety — nectarine, peach and citrus.

Asti Spumante — The fully sparkling version of Moscato, Asti Spumante (or simply Asti) is the Muscat Blanc grape’s answer to champagne.

Moscato d’Asti — This is the most common type of Moscato wine. It’s white, sweet and slightly sparkling (what’s known as “frizzante”), and made from the Muscat Blanc grape. Moscato d’Asti is generally what you’ll get if you ask for Moscato at most establishments.

Red Moscato — Made with black and orange Muscat grapes, Red Moscato is the best of both worlds as far as red versus white wine is concerned. While it still has that signature Moscato taste and smell, red Moscato features a range of fruity notes from wild cherry to berry and peach.

Still Moscato — Also known as Moscatel or Muscat Blanc. This Moscato comes without the wine’s signature sparkle, and uses either the Zibibbo or the Muscat Blanc grape. You won’t find this still white wine in every supermarket, but if you do, it’s a bit different, so die hard Moscato fans might not love this as much as their usual bottle. Some it’s interesting to try Moscatos which are completely dry, featuring ABVs that more closely resemble other wines. The alcohol content hovers at around 12%.

Dessert Moscato — Though all Moscatos are quite sweet and have a reputation as a great dessert wine, this oak-aged style is commonly associated with wine made from Moscatel grapes, hailing from various regions in the world — France, the US, South America and more.
