The winemaking tradition of the Moscatel grape represents a jewel of our region, with a history dating back to ancestral times. This wine, deeply rooted in Mediterranean culture, stands out for its unique characteristics and versatility.

Moscatel wine captivates with its intense and sweet aromas, evoking notes of flowers, tropical fruits, peach, apricot, honey and jasmine. This aromatic richness is due to its high concentration of terpenes, natural compounds that give it its distinctive profile.
