Moscato is a sweet Italian wine. Yum! It is often served chilled as a dessert wine but it is also goes great with fruit, fish, or all on its own. Moscato's fizzy and fragrant demeanor is unique to its fermentation process.

This explains why the alcohol level is lower than other wines. typically somewhere around 5%.
