The Moscato Rosa vine is a very ancient vine, of probable Greek origins which, passing through Sicily, arrived in Trentino in the mid-nineteenth century. The name seems to derive more from the primary aroma of rose that characterizes this aromatic vine, than from the color of the berry, which is actually bluish-black. Moscato Rosa is very delicate to cultivate as it is subject to various problems in flowering and ripening which greatly reduce its production capacity. For all these reasons, as well as being noble, it is also a precious wine, also due to its great ability to accumulate large quantities of sugar. This wine is obtained from small vineyards located on the alluvial fan of the town of Pressano, north of Trento, at about 250-300 metres, facing south-southwest on clayey-limestone soils and in a well-ventilated area to avoid health problems and allow the grapes the achievement of a perfect level of aromatic and sugar ripening. The grapes are harvested by hand very late after a natural drying on the vine and, after destemming, are subjected to traditional vinification with the addition of selected yeasts at a temperature of 22-24°C for 6-8 days. Then with the use of cold (5°C), the fermentation process is naturally blocked with the consequent maintenance of the desired residual sugar. It then continues with the collection of only flower wine without pressing of the pomace. This is followed by conservation in steel for a few months, always at a low temperature to preserve the aromas of this elegant wine

If you are looking to discover the beauty of sweet wines, then you are in the right place. This article will explore some of the best sweet wines and how to choose the right one for you.
What is a Sweet Wine?
First of all, we need to clarify what a sweet wine is. A sweet wine is a wine that contains a certain amount of sugar. This sugar can be added during fermentation or it can be added afterwards. The amount of sugar in sweet wine can vary from slightly sweet to very sweet. Sweet wines are often sweeter than dry wines because they contain more sugar.
Most Popular Sweet Wines
Sweet wines can be divided into three broad categories: dessert wines, sparkling wines and aromatised wines. Dessert wines are those that are sweeter and more aromatic, such as Port, Sherry, Muscat and Madeira. Sparkling wines are carbonated wines such as Champagne, sparkling Muscat, Prosecco and Cava. Aromatised wines are those with a fruity flavour, such as Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Grüner Veltliner.
How to Choose a Sweet Wine

You will also have to consider your budget and personal taste. If you are a beginner, you might want to start with a less expensive and less sweet wine, such as a Muscat or Riesling. If you are an expert, then you may want to explore rarer and more expensive wines such as a Port or Sherry.
How to Serve a Sweet Wine
If you have decided to try a sweet wine, it is important to serve it in the right way. Dessert wines should be served chilled, while sparkling and flavoured wines should be served at room temperature. The right temperature for a sweet wine varies depending on the type of wine, so be sure to read the labels before serving. Dessert wines should be served in larger dessert glasses, while sparkling and aromatised wines should be served in wine glasses.
How to Pair a Sweet Wine
One of the advantages of sweet wines is that they can be paired with many different dishes. Dessert wines can be paired with desserts, cheeses and meats. Sparkling wines can be paired with all kinds of dishes, from savoury to sweet. Aromatised wines are particularly versatile and can be paired with fish, meat and vegetable dishes.
