Moscato di Canelli, which makes our Moscato d'Oro, is the name of a small-berried Muscat variety which has long been treasured in Italy. Muscat is one of the oldest recorded grape varieties in the history of wine. In Greek mythology, its luxurioius floral, perfume, stone fruit and spice flavors are said to have been reserved solely for the gods. We make our Moscato d'Oro in very small quantities and all of the grapes were harvested from several blocks on our Wappo Hill Vineyard, in the heart of Napa Valley's Stags Leap District. Robert Mondavi began producing this sweet, intensely perfumed wine in the 1960s to complement his dry wine portfolio and as a nod to his Italian roots.
