About Moscato
Moscato is a sweet and aromatic white wine originally made from Muscat grapes, which have been cultivated for thousands of years and are believed to originate from the Mediterranean region, particularly Greece and Italy. Moscato is commonly enjoyed in Italian cuisine, often paired with desserts or light dishes owing to its natural sweetness and floral aroma. Per 3.5-ounce serving (approximately 100 ml), Moscato contains about 80 calories, 5.3 grams of carbohydrates, and trace amounts of calcium. Like most alcoholic beverages, Moscato does not provide significant amounts of protein, fats, fiber, or vitamins but does contribute calories from its natural sugars.
Health Benefits
- Provides modest calcium for bone support (6.67 mg per 100 ml serving).
- Contains antioxidants like resveratrol found in grapes, which may support heart health.
- Light-to-moderate wine consumption can potentially improve relaxation due to its alcohol content, which may reduce stress levels when enjoyed responsibly.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store Moscato in a cool, dark place at a temperature between 50-59°F (10-15°C). Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 3-5 days for optimal flavor.
Common Questions About Moscato Nutrition
How many calories are in a serving of Moscato?
A typical 2-ounce serving of Moscato contains approximately 80 calories. It is relatively low in calories compared to heavier wines, making it a lighter option for casual drinking.
Is Moscato suitable for a keto diet?
Moscato is generally not suitable for a strict keto diet as it contains 5.33 grams of carbohydrates and sugars per 2-ounce serving. Keto diets typically limit carbs to under 20-50 grams per day, so Moscato may not fit into this framework.
What are the health benefits or concerns of drinking Moscato?
Moscato's sweet profile makes it appealing, but its sugar content (5.33 grams per serving) may be a concern for those monitoring their sugar intake. Moderate consumption can be a part of a balanced lifestyle, but excessive intake may contribute to weight gain or blood sugar spikes.
What is the recommended serving size for Moscato?
The recommended serving size for Moscato is typically 2-5 ounces, based on personal preference and dietary needs. For casual drinking, smaller servings can help manage calorie and sugar intake.
How does Moscato compare to other types of wine?
