Learn More about Kosher Moscato

Kosher Moscato wines, including Bartenura Kosher Moscato, are adored worldwide for their luscious sweetness and unique musky flavors. The Muscat grape is one of the oldest known varietals of grapes in the world and kosher Moscato wines are created to emphasize the grape's natural aroma. Let's delve into the world of kosher Moscato and explore what makes Moscato sweet wine a favorite.

What is Kosher Moscato?

Moscato, or Moscato d'Asti in Italian, is known for its refreshing, sweet flavors of peach, orange blossom, and nectarine. These wines, including the famous " blue bottle" from Bartenura Winery  are more than dessert wines thanks to their low alcohol content and appealing taste.

Is Moscato Sweet? The Flavors of Moscato

Moscato sweet wine, made from Muscat Blanc grapes, offers a spectrum of flavors like mandarin orange, ripe pear, sweet meyer lemon, orange blossom, and honeysuckle. From the light and effervescent Moscato d'Asti to the more robust Red Moscato, the sweetness is balanced by acidity and clean, minerally finishes.

Moscato vs. Moscato d'Asti: Understanding the Difference

Moscato: This is the general name for wines made from the Muscat grape. It can be found in different styles and regions worldwide.
Moscato d'Asti: A specific lightly sparkling wine from the Asti region in Italy, made exclusively from the Muscat grape.


The key differences lie in the region of origin, sparkling quality, and regulations. Moscato d'Asti carries a unique identity tied to traditional production methods in the Asti area, while Moscato can vary widely in style.

Are There Other Types of Moscato?

Moscato can take on a variety of styles beyond the standard Moscato or Moscato D' Asti. For example, you may also find:

  • Pink Moscato Wine: Pink Moscato, is usually a blend of Muscat grapes with a hint of Merlot, delivers the classic Moscato flavors with a touch of strawberry and is sweeter than a typical rosé wine, though a similar color.
  • Red Moscato Wine:This variety of Moscato is known for its inviting sweet characteristics, bursting with flavors reminiscent of ripe berries such as raspberries, strawberries, and cherries. Unlike some traditional red wines that may be heavy and rich, red Moscato offers a lighter, sweeter experience. Often created by blending Muscat grapes with Syrah or Zinfandel, this wine adds an appealing twist to the Moscato family. For the best tasting experience, serve red Moscato slightly cooler than room temperature in a Burgundy glass. Its unique taste profile provides a refreshing alternative for those exploring different red wine options.
  • Peach Moscato: The delightful Peach Moscato, such as the Carmel Buzz Peach Moscato,  adds a fruity twist to the traditional flavor profile.

Kosher Moscato Producers: Bartenura and Beyond

From Italy to Australia, Moscato has been produced in many different cultures for thousands of years. Many kosher Moscatos wines are produced in Italy and many can be enjoyed as a kosher wine for Passover.  The Most famed kosher moscato however is the blue bottle- Bartenura.

Bartenura

Bartenura Wines have been sourced from all of the greatest wine-growing regions in Italy. Their Moscatos are some of the most popular on the market. From a niche kosher producer to now a worldwide phenomenon, Bartenura's growth can be attributed to their tasteful wine, flashy advertising and celebrity marketing; Drake, Lil' Kim and several other hip-hop stars have actually mentioned Bartenura Moscato in their lyrics. Bartenura is popular for its sweet taste and stylish blue bottle. Only the best grapes are used, and fermentation takes place at a low temperature in order to craft a wine with fresh, peachy perfumes and a light, grapey fruit flavor.
