Bud-burst period: everage.
Ripening period: average-early.
Yield: good and constant.
Ampelographic characters:
fairly homogeneous variety, differing in productivity and vigour. The bud has a very small, expanded apex, woolly and greenish-white in colour. The medium-sized, roundish, sometimes whole leaves, have a U- or V-shaped petiolar sinus and irregular, slightly evident teeth. The underside is glabrous. The cluster is medium-large, pyramidal-shaped with one or two wings, and sparse. The medium-sized, spheroidal berry has thick skin with an intense yellow colour and slightly crunchy flesh with a muscat flavour.
Cultural aptitude:
vine of high vigour with an upright growth habit and robust shoots with long internodes. It requires slightly calcareous soils of medium consistency, hilly, rich in skeleton and located in ventilated environments.
Training system and pruning:
it prefers long pruning and “pergola” or espalier training systems, such as Guyot, Sylvoz and Casarsa.
Susceptibility to diseases and adverse conditions:
susceptible to dead arm and to iron and magnesium deficiency. Good tolerance to botrytis and winter cold.
Enological potential:
it is possible to obtain light gold-coloured wines with a pleasant muscat scent, which is stronger than in Moscato Bianco/Muscat Blanc. Dessert wines can also be produced, but the most common use is in the sweet sparkling wine type.
Clones in propagation:
Moscato Giallo R1, VCR5, VCR100, VCR102, ISV-V13, ISV-V5.
