The Manzoni Moscato grape variety was created in the 1930s through the hybridization of indigenous grape varieties from the Marca Trevigiana region and international grape varieties. This was part of experiments aimed at improving the resistance of vines to adverse conditions and enhancing the organoleptic qualities of the resulting wines. These experiments, conducted by Prof. Luigi Manzoni of the Conegliano School of Enology, led to the development of a whole family of grape varieties known as Incroci Manzoni. Manzoni Moscato, one of these varieties, was obtained by crossing Raboso Piave and Moscato Amburgo and was identified as Incrocio Manzoni 13.0.25. In the Piave region, one of the most widely cultivated grape varieties for many years has been Raboso Piave, known for producing musts rich in acidity and tannins, resulting in wines renowned for their roughness.

It was precisely for this reason that Luigi Manzoni focused his attention on this grape variety. Manzoni Moscato thus originated from the idea of creating a new grape variety that, while retaining the characteristics of the original plant (Raboso Piave), would produce a softer and more pleasant wine. Currently, Manzoni Moscato is cultivated only in a few municipalities in the province of Treviso, and the entire production is used to produce a sparkling wine made using the Charmat method, which is semi-sweet and has a beautiful, vibrant, and bright rosé color. On the nose, it offers aromas of small fruits, notes of vanilla, and ripe citrus, with a pleasantly dry aftertaste.
