History
Single-variety grappas have existed for centuries since producers, mainly artisans, distilled the only type of marc given to them. These grappas, however, were not valued until the late 1970s- early 1980s when producers began to select and reveal all the different types of local vines available.
Production method
The main ingredient is the pomace resulting from the vinification of Moscato white grapes, they grow mainly in the Veneto and Piemonte regions. Once fermented these marcs are skillfully distilled with copper stills. The grappa originated from the process will rest for at least 18 months in oak barrels before being diluted and bottled.
Refinement
Grappa Moscato, before being bottled, is aged for at least 18 months in oak barrels.

It goes well with either milk and dark chocolate (60-70%), jam, tarts and a typical Italian dry biscuit called cantucci.
