Description Icon Goldmuskateller Description

Origin: Northern Italy
History: Goldmuskateller, known in Italy as Moscato Giallo, is a member of the Muscat family and is believed to have been introduced to Italy from Greece during the Middle Ages. It has been cultivated in regions like Alto Adige (South Tyrol) and Trentino for centuries, where it thrives in the alpine climate. The grape is renowned for its aromatic intensity and versatility in producing both dry and sweet wines.
Appearance: Medium-sized, elongated clusters with large, round, golden-yellow berries.
Growing Traits: Goldmuskateller is a vigorous vine that requires warm, sunny slopes to fully develop its characteristic aromas. It is susceptible to chlorosis and black spot disease, necessitating careful vineyard management. The grape ripens later than Muscat Blanc and tends to produce high yields.
