Moscato grape seems to be the oldest grape of those grown in Italy and is probably a vine with the greatest number of historical attestations. It arrived in Italy thanks to the Greek colonists, who spread it through the transport of seeds and branches. From Italy it spread throughout Europe. The term known since Roman times "Moscato" means "fragrant". Its great development arrives in the second half of 1500 with the name Moscato Bianco del Piemonte. For the farmers who worked the land, for example, it was the best wine to combine with a genuine salty snack. Moscato D'Asti DOCG (Controlled and Guaranteed Designation of Origin) "ASTI" obtained in 1993.
